> Lawyers for Cilia Flores, wife of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, have asked a federal court in New York to release her before substantive hearings because of heart problems. They say she underwent heart surgery before her capture and removal from Venezuela, now needs several medications and must carry nitroglycerin, and propose house arrest instead of detention.
