A campaign finance watchdog group, the Coolidge Reagan Foundation, filed two criminal referrals against Democratic mayoral nominee Zohran Mamdani on Tuesday, claiming he received illegal contributions from foreign donors. However, the Mamdani campaign maintains that any issue regarding financial contributions has been resolved.
Mamdani’s campaign accepted nearly $13,000 from 170 donors from outside the US.
“These are not isolated incidents or clerical errors,” Dan Backer, a national campaign finance expert and president of the Coolidge Reagan Foundation, told Fox News Digital. “This was a sustained pattern of foreign money flowing into a New York City mayoral race which is a clear violation of both federal law and New York City campaign finance rules. Mamdani’s campaign was on notice for months that it was accepting illegal foreign contributions, and yet it did nothing meaningful to stop it.”
The Mamdani campaign claims that “31 of the 170 donors have proven their citizenship or legal permanent residence and have been deemed permissible by the Campaign Finance Board, and the remaining 139 have had their donations refunded.”
CRF filed criminal referrals Tuesday with Assistant Attorney General Matthew R. Galeotti and Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg, alleging possible violations of the Federal Election Campaign Act, which bans foreign contributions to U.S. elections.
However, a state campaign finance official noted that U.S. citizens and lawful residents abroad can legally donate, suggesting they were legal.
“The law is crystal clear that foreign nationals may not participate in American elections, and that includes making contributions. Yet Mamdani’s campaign repeatedly accepted donations from individuals abroad,” Backer added, arguing that “whether through negligence or intent, this conduct undermines the integrity of the democratic process.”
I don’t see this going anywhere but we can hope.
BREAKING ON FOX!!
Zohran Mamdani took $13,000 from 170+ foreign donors.
Not an error. Not a mistake. A clear, repeated violation of NYC and federal law.
The Coolidge Reagan Foundation is making sure Mamdani is held accountable. https://t.co/JYTmhJ5SIM

And says the Lord of Hosts, Florida, says the Lord, Florida. HIGH ALERT, SAYS THE LORD, HIGH ALERT! Leadership must be sober-minded and vigilant, says the Lord, for they seek to move in a string of attacks up the east coast, says the Lord. An underground railroad has been established to move weapons and supplies. They shall attempt an attack in NYC to attempt to sculpt a hero out of the mayor’s race, says the Lord. They shall plot such an attack to attempt to shake the city in order to lay claim to a seat, says the Lord, that the enemy is laying claim to, says the Lord, for the sorcery and blood shed and grave sin concentrated within New York City, the enemy has claimed rights to such and to place his disciple upon such a seat, says the Lord.
However, says the Lord, their plot shall be found out their players exposed one candidate shall be greatly exposed for taking large sums of money from terrorist organizations, says the Lord, and the deal was made to give them a hub and a center in New York City to be their Mecca, says the Lord, they are eyeing a Mecca in your nation, says the Lord. Their pilgrimage is on the move, says the Lord, and a great shaking shall occur in New York City of such it shall shake New York, says the Lord,…
Pure hogwash
Oh, another lying communist finance by foreign sources!!!!!!
communists always do what they need to do to win at all costs. They care not about the “law”.
The globalist criminals will have the final say. Maybe they’ll Bernie Sanders him for now and save him for later when they insert AOC as President.
The globalist criminals have already been totally defeated. There is nothing left now but to ENJOY THE SHOW!
I remember when I think it was CBS had asked both McCain and Obama to provide their list of donors.
The McCain team provided it, but the Obama team had REFUSED.
I remember because even that media who was very much pro-Democrat and pro-Obama was saying that was suspicious.
Democrats have been cheating for years,
no, decades.
Correct. But you misspelled DemonicRats.
I thought they misspelled communist.
Centuries.
