Trump reveals Venezuela’s Maduro was captured in ‘fortress’-like house: ‘He got bum rushed so fast’

President Donald Trump spoke to "Fox & Friends Weekend" about Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro's final moments before his capture by American forces.

Greg Norman is a reporter at Fox News Digital.

"We waited four days. We were going to do this, four days ago, three days ago, two days ago. And then all of a sudden it opened up, and we said, ‘go,’" the president said, describing how Maduro was in a "very highly-guarded" house at the time he was confronted. 

"He was in a house that was more like a fortress than a house. It had steel doors. It had what they call a safety space, where it's, you know, solid steel all around. He didn't get that space closed. He was trying to get into it, but he got bum rushed so fast that he didn't get into that," Trump said. "We were prepared. We had, you know, massive blowtorches and everything else that you need to get through that steel. But we didn't need it. He didn't make it to that area of the house."
