Over the following eight years, the agency found that Hezbollah was involved in cocaine shipments from Latin America to West Africa, as well as through Venezuela and Mexico to the United States. The Obama administration halted Project Cassandra as it was approaching the upper echelons of Hezbollah's conspiracy in order to seal a nuclear deal with Iran, even though Hezbollah was still funneling cocaine into America. Officials at the U.S. Justice and Treasury departments delayed the project's requests to conduct relevant investigations, prosecutions and arrests. Obama eventually helped strike the Iran deal with several other nations in 2015. Because of the project's sudden end, it is hard to determine how much cocaine has come into the U.S. from Hezbollah-affiliated networks. But through Venezuela alone, Hezbollah sent thousands of tons to the United States in a matter of years. The Obama administration also did not move forward to extradite two Venezuelan citizens who were deeply involved between the South American country, Hezbollah, Iran and drug trafficking: businessman Walid Makled and former chief of intelligence Hugo Carvajal. https://www.newsweek.com/hezbollah-cocaine-smuggle-united-states-obama-751928  But Jeff Sessions set up a task force to look into it. https://www.justice.gov/opa/speech/principal-deputy-assistant-attorney-general-john-p-cronan-criminal-division-delivers  Principal Deputy Assistant Attorney General John P. Cronan of the Criminal Division Delivers Remarks at the AMIA 25th Anniversary: Improving Regional Counterterrorism Cooperation in the Wake of a Tragedy:  In January 2018, then-Attorney General Jeff Sessions created the Hezbollah Financing and Narcoterrorism Team, or the HFNT, and asked me to lead the Team. The decision to stand up the HFNT reflected a recognition of the ongoing, sophisticated, and global threat posed by Hezbollah to the United States – and that this threat demands an aggressive and coordinated law enforcement response.  Through the HFNT, we are vigorously embracing that coordinated and aggressive response, by working to bring to justice those who provide any support to Hezbollah – financial support, manpower, weapons, or otherwise.  We have adopted a multi-pronged, “all of the above” approach, which has entailed coordination among federal prosecutors and investigators across the country, exploration of non-terrorism charges where appropriate to neutralize Hezbollah support, coordination among various agencies of the U.S. government, and close collaboration with our foreign counterparts.
