Looks like Trump is in hot water now. He keeps calling Hillary "crooked Hillary" but in reality, it appears that he is the very crooked one. This one may create some problems for him....although it has been all too clear that it doesn't matter to his supporters how many times Trump breaks the laws or that he cheats on his income tax but some Republican cubans in Florida that are very much against breaking the embargo may not like Trump as much with this one.
Of course, the lying Donald claims he has never even been to Cuba.....
Revelations that Donald Trump’s hotel and casino company secretly spent money trying to do business in Cuba in violation of the U.S. trade embargo roiled Miami politics Thursday, forcing top Cuban-American Republicans to express concern about Trump’s dealings while maintaining that the allegation isn’t reason enough to disavow the presidential nominee yet.
Trump Hotels & Casino Resorts paid at least $68,000 to a consulting firm in late 1998 in an attempt to give Trump’s business a head start in Cuba if the U.S. loosened or lifted trade sanctions, according to a front-page Newsweek report titled “The Castro Connection.” The consulting firm, Seven Arrows Investment and Development Corp., later instructed the casino company to make the spending appear legal by saying it was for charity.
Trump’s most prominent local Cuban-American supporter, U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio, called the report “troubling.”
“The article makes some very serious and troubling allegations,” he said in a campaign statement. “I will reserve judgment until we know all the facts and Donald has been given the opportunity to respond.”
