Claim: The Biden administration placed a $25 million bounty on Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro.
Rating: MOSTLY TRUE
Explanation: The original bounty was set at $15 million during Donald Trump’s first term in 2020. The U.S. Treasury Department later increased the reward to $25 million days before President Joe Biden left office in January 2025, making the claim mostly accurate but lacking full context.
