In 2007, more than 23 tons of cocaine belonging to the Sinaloa cartel were found in the Mexican port of Manzanillo. Mexico and the U.S. celebrated it as the biggest drug bust in Mexican history to date...

Fifteen years later, Genaro García Luna is accused of helping the cartel avoid a $50 million “fine” in connection to that bust...

Now, I break down with @maria_hinojosa how the U.S. and García Luna allegedly worked together to make it happen...

And they couldn’t have done it without Harold ‘El Conejo’ or 'The Bunny' Poveda, the man who cried on the witness stand and made the international drug trade go round.

#BREAKING Garcia Luna could testify next week in #USAvGarciaLuna. Today, the Court responded to a petition from the defense about preventing the prosecutors from asking him about specific subjects. "The Court is unable to give the defendant the assurances he seeks."

The sensitive topic might be Garcia Luna's wealth in Miami. "Although the Court will not allow proof of post-2012 assets unconnected to the charged crimes to support an inference that because defendant is wealthy..."

"He must be guilty – nor will it allow the Government to introduce such evidence on a purportedly different
theory that the Court finds to be a subterfuge for drawing that interference..."

"there may still be other reasons to introduce or cross-examine defendant on such information going to credibility of which the Court is unaware."

We will know on Monday if Garcia Luna will testify or not. @Maria_Hinojosa
