Trump Administration Subpoenas Streamer Hasan Piker, CodePink’s Medea Benjamin in Cuba Probe
Federal officials have issued administrative subpoenas to Twitch streamer Hasan Piker and CodePink co-founder Medea Benjamin as part of an expanding investigation into whether U.S.-based activists violated sanctions laws during a recent delegation trip to Cuba, according to Fox News Digital.
The subpoenas were issued by the Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) and seek financial, logistical, and communications records tied to the March travel activity.
Investigators are examining whether participants coordinated travel arrangements, transferred goods, or engaged with Cuban government-linked entities in ways that may have run afoul of federal sanctions restrictions.
The inquiry centers on a delegation known as the “Nuestra América Convoy,” a multinational activist trip that brought together hundreds of participants from various organizations.
Federal officials are reviewing whether any aspect of the travel—including funding, lodging, or coordination—was conducted through entities or channels restricted under U.S. sanctions law.
