Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier announced a subpoena to the Democratic Socialists of America on Tuesday, saying his office is examining foreign contributions connected to the organization’s delegations and travel fundraising.
Uthmeier identified Cuba and China in his announcement. Florida’s Voice reported that the inquiry concerns whether DSA received money or other support from those governments and complied with Florida fundraising laws.
“FL law requires transparency,” Uthmeier wrote. “We will hold those who break the law accountable.”
The inquiry puts the organization’s overseas travel funding under scrutiny. The announcement did not include the subpoena’s text or a deadline for responding.
