Maduro added he is a "prisoner of war." He told the court that he had not previously seen the indictment and was unaware of his legal rights.
Maduro’s wife, Cilia Flores, also pleaded not guilty to charges of illegal cocaine trafficking in the U.S., Reuters reports.
Both Maduro and Flores are requesting consular assistance from the Venezuelan embassy.
