Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump knowingly conducted illegal business in Communist Cuba during Fidel Castro’s rule in the ’90s, a bombshell report claims.
The scathing allegations are outlined in a Newsweek cover story that dropped Thursday morning.
The “Castro Connection” story claims Trump spent at least $68,000 in 1998 for a business foray into Cuba — even though any corporate activity in the Caribbean country was completely illegal without government approval at the time.
With the real estate mogul’s knowledge, executives at Trump Hotels & Casino Resorts reportedly funneled the cash through an American consulting firm called Seven Arrows Investment and Development Corporation, internal company records and court filings show.
Seven Arrows consultants would travel to Cuba to scope out potential business opportunities and then instruct Trump how to obscure his actual intensions by linking the venture to bogus charitable efforts.
