The state of Florida has opened an inquiry into whether the state’s Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) chapters violated state fundraising laws, Attorney General James Uthmeier announced.

In a video posted to X on Tuesday, Uthmeier said his staff will investigate whether the organization accepted “contributions or support from foreign sources of concern,” including Cuban and Chinese governments. The subpoena also covers fundraising efforts to pay for those trips and “related activities involving Florida chapters,” Uthmeier said.

“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 began.

“We will not allow foreign adversaries to influence Florida through the backdoor of nonprofit fundraising,” Uthmeier said.
