Presidential aide Felipe Sixto has resigned “because of an alleged misuse of grant money from U.S. Agency for International Development and his former employer, a Cuban democracy organization.” Since Sixto “stepped forward” on March 20, the matter has been turned over to the Justice Department. CNN’s Ed Henry reports:
Significance of the group Center for a Free Cuba, of course, could be the President has spent a lot of time — especially with the transfer of power in Havana — talking about, and pushing for, freedom and democracy to go to Cuba. So this, obviously, very embarrassing for the administration that a White House aide, Felipe Sixto — now a former White House aide — had allegedly misused federal grant money.
