Florida goes after socialist political group over possible ‘foreign contributions’

The Florida Attorney General’s office issued a subpoena to the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) over potential contributions from “foreign sources of concern,” according to Attorney General James Uthmeier.In a video statement released on Tuesday morning, Uthmeier said the subpoena stems from the state’s Deceptive and Unfair Trade Practices Act and regulations about soliciting funds.“We are examining whether DSA accepted contributions or support from foreign sources of concern, including the regimes in Cuba and China,” he said. “And whether its fundraising from Florida donors has been fully transparent and lawful.”Today my office issued a subpoena to the Democratic Socialists of America. We’re examining foreign contributions—including from Cuba and China—tied to their delegations and travel fund solicitations. FL law requires transparency. We will hold those who break the law accountable. https://t.co/Xu8MUoDwZb Attorney General James Uthmeier (@AGJamesUthmeier) November 10, 202
