Senator Marco Rubio was the target of an assassination plot launched by one of Venezuela’s most powerful leaders, according to a report from the Miami Herald.
According to an intelligence report obtained by the U.S. last month, Diosdado Cabello, a former military chief and a member of the United Socialist Party of Venezuela, issued an "order to have Senator Rubio assassinated" and may have contacted "unspecified Mexican nationals" in order to carry out the deed.
