.Matt Gutman, after his first report on ‘CBS Mornings, recounts to Gayle King his harrowing ordeal in 2016 (for ABC News) when he was held for five days in a black site by the Maduro regime in Venezuela after he reported on the corruption that resulted in a pediatric ward with dying children b/c the regime had stolen their medicine... “We were basically in Venezuela to report on the kleptocracy there, on the corruption, focusing specifically on one hospital, this pediatric ward, because Maduro's regime was stealing all of the medicine in the country literally leaving young children to die in their own hospitals. And, after reporting there, locals are not allowed to do that kind of reporting, we were leaving, we were pointed out by some of the local militias, then the local police took us in, then the national police finally — the secret police — we were taken to a black site, I was there for five days. They accused me of being a CIA spy, obviously that's not true. They threatened that they would keep me there for years to come. Now, I was never physically mistreated, but right beside me for days I saw people who were physically mistreated. Obviously, the regime has tortured people and left people in unlawful detention for many years and killed people as well. And obviously, all of this relates to the charges here and that terrible corruption that we have seen. But one lighter note, nine years after that happened, one of the people I worked with in Venezuela who was held with me was Carlos Beltran, a producer who he and I reunited for the first time yesterday physically in the same space for the first time in nine years since we left each other and parted in that black site in Venezuela. So, a pretty incredible full circle here, Gayle.”
