The Justice Department has formed a working group to examine possible federal charges against officials or entities within Cubas government, according to an official familiar with the group. The formation of the group could be a significant step in the Trump administrations public push to topple the regime in Cuba.
Officials from government agencies including the Treasury Department will be part of the recently formed group. Treasurys involvement could mean the Trump administration is considering further sanctions against Cuba, already the subject of intense U.S. economic sanctions.
The working group is exploring potential crimes related to immigration, economics and more. Another person familiar with the working group said federal prosecutors in Florida are also working with local partners in the state to bring potential charges against Cuban officials.
The effort to bring charges against Cuban officials coincides with President Donald Trump saying that his administration is eyeing Cuba as the next country whose government might be overthrown, following the capture of Venezuelas Nicolás Maduro in early January and the killing of Irans supreme leader last Saturday.

This is a diversion from Epstein /Trump rape club investigation, just like the war.
Talk to the Rapist's victims before going out of country to avoid Investigating. trying and locking him away from every 12 old in this country.... THAT would be Justice.
