Former Maduro intelligence chief on why Guaido's revolt failed

Venezuela is facing an economic crisis, with residents suffering shortages of electricity, food, gas and medicine.

So far, Maduro has clung to power -- but some allies, including his former intelligence chief, have deserted him. Nick Schifrin talks to General Manuel Ricardo Cristopher Figuera.
