President Donald Trump said the US used a weapon he referred to as a "discombobulator" to capture then-Venezuelan President Nicols Maduro this month, but a senior US official said he's likely conflating tools used by the US military. "The discombobulator, I'm not allowed to talk about it," Trump told the New York Post in an interview that published Saturday but added that it "made [enemy] equipment not work" during the capture. The president may be conflating several capabilities into a single weapon that doesn't exist, a senior US official told CNN. US forces did use cyber tools to disable early warning and other Venezuelan defense systems during the operation, it also utilized existing acoustic systems to disorient personnel on the ground.
