The Democrat Socialists of America, those who are in the Democrat party but have moved to the left and now often openly advocate for Marxist ideologies, are now under investigation in Florida, with possible criminal cases looming.
IFlorida Attorney General James Uthmeier said Tuesday he’s issued subpoenas to the DSA regarding money it raised.
The suspicions are that the political organization may have taken cash from the communists in Cuba or in China.
“We are examining whether DSA accepted contributions or support from foreign sources of concern, including the regimes in Cuba and China, and whether its fundraising from Florida donors has been fully transparent and lawful,” he confirmed.
He noted the DSA sent a delegation to Cuba “where national leaders and national political committee members met with Cuban government officials, as well as a delegation to China.”
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. FL law requires transparency. We will hold those who break the law accountable. https://t.co/Xu8MUoDwZb

According to a report at RedState investigators are reviewing “travel fund solicitations that sought tens of thousands of dollars” to bankroll those trips.
The DSA itself has admitted it sent 40 people to meet with Cuban officials.
The laws at issue are the state’s Deceptive and Unfair Trade Practices Act and state fundraising laws.
“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 said.
