    Aaron Schock, a former Illinois lawmaker, claimed Venezuela's vice president promised him a gold mine if he secured U.S. sanctions relief. He worked with business associate Benjamin Papermaster to develop a strategy to maintain U.S.-Venezuela relations under Donald Trump, aiming to resume American oil operations.
