BREAKINGBREAKING: Republicans Demand an Investigation into NYC Mayoral Candidate Zohran Mamdani After it Was Revealed He Took…
A growing number of voices are calling for a full-scale investigation into New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani after reports revealed his campaign accepted nearly $13,000 in potentially illegal foreign donations.
The scandal has rattled the city’s political establishment and raised new questions about transparency and accountability among progressive Democrats.
According to the New York Post, at least 170 contributions came from donors using foreign addresses, violating U.S. campaign finance laws that strictly prohibit foreign nationals from funding American political campaigns.
The findings have sparked outrage from across the political spectrum.
Campaign finance records show that Mamdani’s campaign returned only part of the questionable donations — roughly $5,608 — while leaving more than $7,000 unaccounted for.
That revelation has triggered demands for state and federal investigators to step in before the election.
“This isn’t just a paperwork issue,” said one election integrity advocate. “It’s a serious breach of trust. If a candidate can’t manage legal donations, how can they be trusted to manage a city?”
The controversy comes just weeks before voters head to the polls, casting a dark cloud over the self-proclaimed socialist’s campaign. Mamdani, who built his political brand on progressive causes and anti-capitalist rhetoric, is now facing accusations of hypocrisy and deception.
Critics say the issue reflects a pattern of disregard for rules among far-left politicians. “These are the same people who talk about fairness and equity, but they don’t follow the law themselves,” said Republican strategist Steven Cheung. “It’s another example of the left playing by a different set of rules.”
In a statement, Mamdani’s team acknowledged the issue but downplayed its significance. “We are reviewing all contributions and returning any that are not in compliance with campaign finance laws,” the statement read.
However, the lack of transparency about which donations were returned has only fueled suspicion.
