JUST IN: Florida AG Subpoenas Democratic Socialists of America Over Suspected Foreign Funding

Uthmeier said investigators are examining trips to Cuba and China, as well as fundraising appeals for donations to cover travel expenses. He said national leaders and members of the group’s National Political Committee met with Cuban government officials during trips to Cuba…

The investigation also covers the group’s international travel and solicitations seeking tens of thousands of dollars to help finance the trips, including activities involving Florida chapters.

The group’s International Committee says it sent 40 members, including elected leaders, to Cuba in October 2025.

In January, National Political Committee member Christian Araos announced the launch of the Venceremos Fund to help members pay for trips organized by the group. The fund’s donation page also lists bringing international organizers to the United States among its purposes.

Uthmeier said his office issued the subpoena under Florida’s Deceptive and Unfair Trade Practices Act and state laws governing fundraising. The consumer protection law gives investigators authority to subpoena witnesses and records as part of an investigation into potential violations.

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.
