Emails reveal DNC side work for Engage Cuba

The top spokesman at the Democratic National Committee has claimed he never lobbied on behalf of a group that promotes normalizing ties with Cuba, but nonetheless was advocating on behalf of the group and helped to set up at least one congressional meeting while in his job at the party committee, according to internal DNC emails contained in the latest WikiLeaks trove.

Luis Miranda worked at the White House as President Obama’s director of Hispanic media outreach before joining the DNC in last fall. In between those stints, he helped launch Engage Cuba, a coalition of private companies and organizations working to end the travel and trade embargo on Cuba.
