- Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier subpoenaed the Democratic Socialists of America on Tuesday over potential foreign contributions involving China and Cuba.
- Uthmeier said investigators are examining DSA delegations and travel-fund solicitations, while the group said it was aware of the subpoena and had no comment.
- The subpoena seeks documents to determine whether DSA complied with Florida fundraising law governing contributions from foreign sources of concern.
Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier issued a subpoena Tuesday to the Democratic Socialists of America over potential foreign contributions, including support from China and Cuba.
“Floridians who give to organizations operating in our state have a right to know where that money comes from and how it is used,” Uthmeier declared in a statement posted to X.
Specifically, Uthmeier is investigating contributions to the organization “tied to their delegations and travel fund solicitations,” for potential violations of Florida’s Deceptive and Unfair Trade Practices Act.
“Our laws prohibit accepting contributions from foreign sources of concern. They require organizations to be honest and transparent about how money is raised and used,” Uthmeier said.
“The subpoena seeks the documents needed to determine compliance,” Uthmeier continued. “We will follow the facts. We will enforce the law, and we will not allow foreign adversaries to influence Florida through the back door of nonprofit fundraising.”
He noted a delegation of 40 DSA elected leaders and rank-and-file members who met in October with Cuban government officials. According to the DSA International Committee, the group delivered “hundreds of pounds of solidarity aid” and “learned about the achievements and challenges of Cuban socialism.”
Uthmeier later told Fox News’ Sean Hannity there was evidence the organization received funding and “things of value” from our “enemies,” including Cuba and China.
He called it a “national security issue,” and he warned about its impact on our elections and how it “also reaches into the far corners of our educational institutions, our universities, our colleges, trying to indoctrinate our young people.”
Added Uthmeier, “You had better believe that if Havana and Beijing think they are going to foot the bill for the DSA, Florida is going to investigate.”
A DSA spokesperson told Fox News Tuesday night, “We are aware of the situation and have no comment at this time.”

I am just an average American. My teen years were in the late 70s and I participated in all that that decade offered. Started working young, too young. Then I joined the Army before I graduated High School. I spent 25 years in, mostly in Infantry units. Since then I've worked in information technology positions all at small family owned companies. At this rate I'll never be a tech millionaire. When I was young I rode horses as much as I could. I do believe I should have been a cowboy. I'm getting in the saddle again by taking riding lessons and see where it goes.
