U.S. federal prosecutors have filed a torture charge against Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro, according to a Wall Street Journal report. The new charge adds to existing U.S. criminal cases against Maduro, who is already indicted on narcotics-related charges and remains in power in Caracas despite not being recognized by Washington as Venezuela's legitimate president.

Why now: The escalation of U.S. legal action against a sitting foreign head of state amid ongoing tensions over Venezuela's government is drawing attention.
