While we lie awake most nights worrying about the state of Beyoncé and Jay Z's marriage, after it was reported
that their controversial April 2013 trip to Cuba was "fully licensed by
the United States Treasury Department" we accepted that they didn't
violate U.S. sanctions. However, it seems the U.S. government has spent
the last year and four months ruminating about its brief encounter with
America's royal couple. On Wednesday the Treasury Department's Office of
Inspector General issued a 9-page report confirming
that Bey and Jay had a license to visit the country and didn't abuse
it. "Based on our review of available documentation and applicable
regulations and guidance, we found no indication that U.S. sanctions
were violated, and we concluded that the Office of Foreign Assets
Control’s decision not to pursue a formal investigation was reasonable,"
the report said. The Treasury Department is looking so crazy right now
that it may as well be gyrating around Jay Z in a leotard.
