CODEPINK Activist Doubles Down After Treasury/DOJ Scrutiny — Brags Federal Probe Has “Activated” Network to Raise More Money and Escalate Direct Action

CODEPINK DC Coordinator Olivia DiNucci has responded to being personally named in the Trump administration’s Treasury and DOJ investigation into the Cuba “solidarity” convoy by doubling down and openly admitting the operation was never just about delivering “medical aid.”

Instead, DiNucci framed the entire fiasco as part of a broader transnational “solidarity” pipeline that ties the Cuban communist regime to Hamas-linked Palestine causes, the Iranian theocracy, Congo activism, and radical domestic protests here in America.

As The Gateway Pundit reported, the Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) has already issued subpoenas to Code Pink cofounder Medea Benjamin and communist influencer Hasan Piker over their participation in the “Nuestra América Convoy” to Cuba.

Sources confirmed the probe is examining whether these activists violated U.S. sanctions through financing, coordination, and delivery of goods, with potential contacts to Cuban government entities.

DiNucci herself was explicitly named in the Fox News reporting as a key figure under scrutiny.

And DiNucci’s own rhetoric appears to confirm critics’ concerns that this was never merely a humanitarian drop-off.

Instead, by her own telling, the Cuba operation was one node in a much broader ideological activism network spanning multiple geopolitical flashpoints.

“Yesterday, Fox News came out with a DOJ report saying that individuals and organizations are going to be investigated for our Cuba solidarity work. They listed me individually, saying that I am a girl next door basketball player who’s part of this. I think it goes to show that we are everyday people who are in solidarity with everyday people in Cuba, Palestine, Iran, Congo, and in our own neighborhoods here. We raise money for life-affirming aid like medical supplies, food, because these blockades and these bombs with our tax dollars are creating—we are creating crisis, and we as individuals are taking a responsibility to combat that. They are trying to scare us, and in fact, it’s only activated us to take more direct action, to raise more funds that go to health products and to food and to be in deeper solidarity with people across the world.”

She continued, painting the group as a bunch of harmless “everyday people” while calling for more recruits:

“We are everyday people: healthcare workers, teachers, artists, parents, students, waitresses, shopkeepers. There is room for everyone in this movement. Join us. Do not be afraid, but continue to act in radical love as we go after these devastating policies.”
