MIAMI (CBSMiami) – Newsweek Magazine is teasing a story out Thursday that Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump did business with Cuba at a time when it would have been against the law.

Newsweek sources include former Trump executives, internal company records and court filings.

In July, CBS4's Jim DeFede went one-on-one with Trump. DeFede specifically asked him about doing business with Cuba.

DeFede said to him, "You must have over the years looked with an eye toward Cuba and thought, 'What an amazing opportunity Cuba would be for an investment.'"

"Well I think at the right time Cuba would be a good opportunity for investment. I think probably the time's not right... there are a lot of things that are wrong with Cuba right now."

Trump's hopes of winning the White House hinges on whether he can win Florida's 29 electoral votes.
