Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier announced today, November 10, 2026, that his office has issued an investigative subpoena to the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), raising serious questions about potential financial connections to Communist regimes in China and Cuba.
According to Uthmeier, the investigation will examine whether DSA accepted contributions or other support from foreign sources of concern and whether its fundraising activities involving Florida donors have been transparent and lawful.
The investigation comes after DSA delegations traveled to Cuba and China, including visits in which DSA leaders reportedly met with Cuban government officials. Uthmeier also pointed to fundraising efforts seeking tens of thousands of dollars to cover travel expenses and related activities involving Florida chapters.
The subpoena was issued under Florida’s Deceptive and Unfair Trade Practices Act and state laws governing the solicitation of funds.
Uthmeier made it clear that his office intends to follow the money and determine whether Florida laws have been violated.
The subpoena itself does not establish wrongdoing, and the investigation’s findings have not yet been announced.
Here’s the bigger question: Were Florida donors aware of how their contributions were being spent, and did any foreign governments provide financial support to these activities?
Those are questions Floridians deserve to have answered.
