The top federal prosecutor in Miami is spearheading a new initiative targeting Cuban leaders for prosecution, sources familiar with the plan tell CBS News. The group plans to focus on prosecutions involving economic crimes, drugs, violent crimes and immigration-related violations, with a focus on targeting those in the Communist Party leadership, the sources added. The plans for the new working group were reported earlier by the Washington Post. The president told CNN in an interview on Friday that Cuba's communist government was likely to be toppled next. In recent weeks, updated subpoenas that expanded the date range for the documents were issued in the matter.
