Analysis Summary:
The article's core claim of a prisoner swap between the US, Venezuela, and El Salvador is supported by multiple sources, but the details and success of the swap are less clear. There's a moderate bias due to the lack of specific details and potential framing of the event.

- Verification Source #4: Reports El Salvador's Bukele suggesting a prisoner swap for Venezuelans deported by the US.

- Assessment: Partially supported. The sources confirm the *proposal* and *attempt* of such a swap, but source 1 indicates a 'botched deal'. The success of the deal as stated in the original article is questionable.
