MIAMI — A leftist influencer recently identified the alleged promoter of the ongoing Communist propaganda web that has been defending the Cuban government.

Hasan Piker, who has 3.1 million followers on Twitch, was live for nearly seven hours on Monday to discuss why he thinks the Trump administration is “after” him.

The “target” is Neville Roy Singham, a leftist U.S.-born tech mogul who is based in Shanghai, Piker said after about 35 minutes on air.

“Anything that he has ever financed,” Piker said about the “target.”

On Saturday, Fox News reported that the U.S. Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control had issued Piker an administrative subpoena.

Last month, Piker, who has 1.89 million followers on YouTube, published “I Went To Cuba. This Is What I Saw” and promoted the “Nuestra América Convoy.”

In February, a congressional committee identified a network of organizations and Singham as a donor “with close ties” to the Chinese Communist Party.

Last year, members of a congressional committee sent a letter to Singham about concerns that he may be violating the Foreign Agents Registration Act.
