Florida AG Investigates DSA Politicians Over Suspected Chinese and Cuban Funding
Florida Attorney-General James Uthmeier has initiated a formal investigation into the financial activities of Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) politicians, focusing on allegations of foreign funding. The probe examines whether tens of thousands of dollars provided by China and Cuba were used to finance official travel for DSA delegates in 2025.
Florida Attorney-General James Uthmeier has opened a formal investigation into the financial practices of Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) politicians, specifically targeting allegations of foreign funding. In a public statement, Uthmeier confirmed that the probe focuses on suspected contributions from China and Cuba, which allegedly totaled tens of thousands of dollars used to finance international travel for DSA members.
The investigation follows two significant overseas trips undertaken by the organization in 2025. In October, up to 40 DSA delegates traveled to Cuba on an official trip led by co-chairs Ashik Siddique and Megan Romer. The visit was facilitated by the Cuban Institute of Friendship with the Peoples (ICAP), a state-affiliated organization.
Prior to the Cuba trip, in September 2025, the DSA conducted another international journey to China. This delegation included members Anlin Wang and Dee Knight. The timing of the visit coincided with commemorative events marking the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II.
Uthmeier’s office is examining whether these foreign entities provided financial support that may violate state or federal laws regarding political contributions and transparency. The Attorney-General’s statement did not specify the exact nature of the funds or whether any legal violations have been confirmed, but the inquiry highlights scrutiny over potential foreign influence in local American politics.
