  "account": "Cilia Flores, the wife of ousted Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, is dealing with health issues while awaiting trial in jail. Doctors in her Brooklyn jail have recommended a heart procedure due to her deteriorating condition. She has lost two teeth and 25 pounds, and her lawyers have requested that a federal judge release her from jail to recover in a private home with 24-hour armed security. Prosecutors have not disputed Flores' health concerns but argue she has refused diagnostic tests unless released, creating the \"medical hardship\" she now claims. A hearing to decide her release is scheduled for Thursday.",
