The US Treasury Department has subpoenaed left-wing influencer Hasan Piker and CodePink cofounder Medea Benjamin as part of an investigation into whether or not a group of activists violated US sanctions during a visit to Cuba, according to a Fox News report on Saturday.

Medea Benjamin, on X: "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."

According to Fox, the activists may have violated US sanctions laws by financing, coordinating, or delivering goods to Cuba, and potentially engaging in contact with Cuban government personnel or entities.
