Republican lawmakers are cheering on the Treasury Department's investigation into whether Marxist political influencer Hasan Piker broke any laws on his recent trip to Cuba , while a Jewish advocacy group asked the Justice Department to probe the Twitch streamer for allegedly serving as an unregistered agent for the communist nation. Piker faces a federal administrative subpoena from the Treasury Department's Office of Foreign Assets Control, a probe that Piker says stems from a broader investigation into Americn-born, Shanghai-based tech tycoon Neville Roy Singham and the pro-communist nonprofit network he bankrolls. In Washington, D.C., many lawmakers, all of them GOP, cheered the investigation. "It’s no mystery why the man who said America deserved 9-11 has rocketed to stardom as the voice of the Democrat left — and openly discussed the money and strategy that makes up the progressive protest industrial complex," Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., told Fox News Digital. REP ILHAN OMAR'S DAUGHTER STRIKES HARD-CORE COMMUNIST POSE AS MOM BATTLES CLAIMS SHE IS RICH "There’s no way Congress will look away from what we’re learning about financing from Neville Singham or a scandal that’s now hiding in plain sight," Issa added. Over the weekend, Fox News Digital reported that the Treasury Department subpoenaed Piker and CodePink co-founder Susan Medea Benjamin as part of a wider investigation into whether U.S. organizations and leaders violated U.S. laws and sanctions in supporting Cuba's communist regime. CodePink, an organization co-founded by Singham’s wife and funded by Singham himself, sponsored a trip to Cuba for far-left influencers in March. Minnesota Democratic Rep.Ilhan Omar’s daughter, Isra Hirsi, also went on the trip, though officials from Omar’s office told Fox News Digital that her daughter paid for the trip herself and didn’t stay at a five-star hotel with other political activists.
