Is the Obama administration sending a delegation to mourn the death of communist Cuban dictator Fidel Castro, or not?
CBS reporter Mark Knoller cites White House spokesman Josh Earnest as saying the administration is not sending an “official delegation” to the funeral on Sunday.

But Reuters tweeted — literally at the very same time — that Obama will dispatch National Security Advisor Ben Rhodes and acting U.S. Ambassador to Cuba Jeffrey DeLaurentis.

Strangely, Reuters reported minutes earlier that Obama wouldn’t be sending a delegation.

While the administration may not know what is going on, one thing is for sure: their last day is January 20.
