New Scoop from Rachel just now to officially break tomorrow [View all]

Kurt Eichenwald cover story breaking at Newsweek in the morning - from a partial article -

""The Castro Connection" how Trump's Company violated the embargo against Cuba"

They secretly conducted business in Cuba during Castro's presidency despite strict embargo from the US.
Spent a min of $68 000 for the foray into Cuba, funneled the money into Cuba illegally and pretended to link the money to a charitable effort.
He conducted business in Havana illegally while skirting the embargo, and lied about it at the time when he first considered running for President in 2000.

As Rachel says:
"Watch this space"
