President Donald Trump's private comments to MS NOW's Joe Scarborough could blow up the prosecution of Venezuela's former president Nicolás Maduro.

The "Morning Joe" host revealed Tuesday morning that he'd spoken to the president the previous day, and he told viewers that Trump boasted that the U.S. was going to take over the South American nation's oil production.

Rep. Ryan Zinke (R-MT) was put on the spot Tuesday during an appearance on CNN when, after defending the Trump administration’s unprecedented attack and takeover of Venezuela, he was made to listen to his own past remarks about Congress holding the sole authority to declare war.

“One last thing I want to play for you: it's you, you were here on Dec. 10 talking about the Venezuelan boat strikes,” CNN’s Audie Cornish said, pulling up a clip of Zinke’s appearance on the network last month.

MS NOW's Joe Scarborough spoke to Donald Trump for the first time in months after the attack on Venezuela — and the president doubled down on controversial remarks he had made nearly a decade ago.

The "Morning Joe" host said he'd spoken to the president about a half dozen times since his return to the White House last year, but their conversation Monday about the invasion of Venezuela was their first in a few months.

Fox News' Laura Ingraham took supporting President Donald Trump's military action in Venezeula a step further, by suggesting the Venezuelan government should actually have to pay the United States for executing the capture of strongman Nicolás Maduro.

The invasion of Venezuela on Saturday morning and subsequent capture of its dictatorial leader, Nicolas Maduro, has sparked considerable debate about the threat the country poses to the U.S. Some Republicans have said the move was justified because of Maduro's long history of supporting drug operations in the country, and pointed to his indictment on narco-terrorism and weapons charges as proof.
