Maduro threatened on Friday to jail his political opponents if they follow through on their vow of launching a legislative trial to remove him from power. "If they launch a supposed political trial, which is not in our constitution, the state prosecution service must bring legal action in the courts and put in jail anyone who violates the constitution, even if they are members of congress," Maduro said in a public speech.
