Bloomberg Law is reporting that (former?) Venezuela President Nicolás Maduro has hired lawyer Barry Pollack for his US criminal defense team. Pollack had been part of Wikileaks founder Julian Assange's legal team.

There are, presumably, not that many practicing lawyers out there with experience defending high-profile criminal cases that have significant international, diplomatic, and political dimensions, something both the Maduro and Assange cases have in common.
