Federal judge who oversaw Maduro, Trump cases dead at 92

Judge Alvin Hellerstein, who was overseeing the case against former Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, died at the age of 92 on Tuesday.

Hellerstein had served as a U.S. District Judge for the Southern District of New York since 1998, after being appointed by then-President Bill Clinton. He had also presided over President Donald Trump's attempts to move his New York criminal case from state courts to federal courts.

The court said Hellerstein died of natural causes just short of his 93rd birthday.
