Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier issued a subpoena to the Democratic Socialists of America over possible foreign contributions from Cuba and China.
Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier announced Tuesday that his office issued an investigative subpoena to the Democratic Socialists of America under the state's Deceptive and Unfair Trade Practices Act and charitable fundraising laws. The probe examines whether DSA accepted contributions or support from foreign sources of concern, including Cuba and China, and whether it disclosed how Florida donor money was spent. It also covers DSA delegations to Cuba and China, including a 40-member trip in October 2025, and travel fund solicitations seeking tens of thousands of dollars. Uthmeier did not accuse DSA of violating state law.
