FARIS: "There’s no denying that Hillary Clinton did delete more e-mails than she turned over. I want to ask you about a story that’s breaking this morning from Newsweek, that one of Trump’s companies spent money in Cuba during the embargo when Fidel Castro — during his regime."
CONWAY: "You didn't read the whole story to find out that that he didn't invest in it."
FARIS: "Serious accusations, even treasonous."
CONWAY: "No, they're not treasonous. Read the entire story. It starts out with the screaming headlines as it usually does that he did business in Cuba. It turns out that he decided not to invest there. If you read the entire story."
FARIS: "Are you denying that his company spent any money in Cuba?"
CONWAY: "I think they paid money — as I understand from the story, they paid money in 1998. We’re not supposed to talk about years ago when it comes to the Clintons but with Trump there is no statute of limitations."
FARIS: "I don’t believe you’re allowed to spend money unless it’s a humanitarian effort or a government effort in that context that you’re dealing with, this particular regime."
BEHAR: "It’s not going to work in Miami. They’re not going to like that."
CONWAY: "The question is did he spend money. He’s very critical of Cuba, he's very critical of Castro and he’s been critical. He gave a speech the very next year to the Cuban-American National Foundation in Miami critical of those who want to do business with castor. He’s talked about the Cuban embargo even on this trail. Again, we’re talking about did his hotel invest money in 1998 in Cuba. No. Did she get money from seven foreign governments while she was Secretary of State? Yes, and somehow that’s not relevant."
