As you may have heard, back in March, Medea Benjamin of Code Pink, far left influencer Hasan Piker and others, traveled to Cuba. It was basically a political operation. They claimed they were there to show solidarity with the people of Cuba, but they were really just celebrating communism, which they think is great for some reason.
Now they are facing federal scrutiny over the trip and have been served subpoenas. It’s all fun and games until you’re the target of a federal investigation, right?
They will naturally, paint themselves as victims here, but no one forced them to make this journey.
FOX News reports:
Feds subpoena Hasan Piker, Medea Benjamin over Cuba trips
Federal officials have served subpoenas to Marxist political influencer Hasan Piker and CodePink cofounder Susan Medea Benjamin as part of a wider investigation into whether U.S. organizations and leaders violated U.S. laws and sanctions in supporting Cuba’s communist regime, Fox News Digital has learned.
Piker and Benjamin are among those caught in a federal inquiry into whether activists who traveled to Cuba in March violated U.S. sanctions laws through the financing, coordination or delivery of goods to Cuba, including potential contacts with Cuban government personnel or entities on the island. The administrative subpoenas were sent to the pair by the Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control
The administrative subpoenas — called “Requests for Information,” or RFI — seek financial, logistical and communications information revolving around trips the two widely bragged about making to the island nation in March with delegations of the “Nuestra América Convoy,” or “Our America Convoy,” from a global network of communist sympathizers, activists and influencers who brought supplies to the country’s ruling Communist Party of Cuba, according to sources familiar with the matter.
The investigation is part of a broader effort by officials at Treasury, State and Justice departments to curb malign foreign influence operations inside the United States, particularly activities tied to support for political violence, extremist movements or acts the U.S. government classifies as terrorism.
Piker has already responded to this news on Twitter/X.
the american govt would rather try to criminalize delivering aid to a country we’ve starved, than punish the epstein class. https://t.co/h19HPsOc9m

So has Medea Benjamin.
Taking medical supplies to pediatric hospitals in Cuba is now a crime? Saving the lives of babies is a crime? This administration is beyond grotesque. https://t.co/xsvQGEYzb8

They are clearly not seeing how serious this is. Time to lawyer up.
