Venezuela's No. 2 denies any involvement in drug trafficking
The powerful leader of Venezuela's congress on Tuesday fiercely denied allegations he might be involved in the drug trade.
National Assembly chief Diosdado Cabello said he would never do anything that could hurt the South American nation's young people.
His comments came after The Wall Street Journal reported that U.S. officials are investigating Cabello and other members of the country's socialist administration for trafficking cocaine and money laundering.
The Journal's story built on reports from earlier this year that Cabello's bodyguard had defected to the U.S. and was fingering his former boss as the head of a drug ring led by Venezuelan political and military officials.
