Here’s a shocker…

It’s now being reported that New York City far-left socialist mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani’s campaign took over $13K in illegal foreign donations.

Records show that around 170 of his 54K donations have come from individuals living outside the United States.

A commie cheating to win?

Who would have guessed?

Here’s everything we know:

One of the donations came from Mamdani’s own mother-in-law, who lives in Dubai.

Reportedly, Mamdani has promised to return any and all foreign donations that were accepted illegally.

However, to date, he still hasn’t returned over $7K in illegal donations!

Here’s a breakdown of the other top foreign donors who contributed to Mamdani’s campaign:

If convicted of this, Mamdani could face serious fines or jail time.

The New York Post has more:

At least 170 of the nearly 54,000 contributions to the leading Democratic candidate’s campaign came from donors with addresses outside the United States, an examination of NYC Campaign Finance Board records found.

Only US citizens or permanent legal residents are allowed to contribute to political campaigns and political action committees under federal, state and city law, and candidates are expected to return any of the illegal donations. Violators who knowingly accept foreign donations could face hefty fines and imprisonment.

But so far, the campaign has failed to return 88 of the foreign donations worth a total of $7,190, records showed.

Mamdani’s campaign has brought in $4 million in private donations, scored another $12.7 million in public matching funds, and with less than a month to go before election day, has nearly $6.1 million in hand.

His campaign issued a statement Saturday saying “we will of course return any donations that are not in compliance with CFB law” after being provided a detailed breakdown of the 88 donations yet to be returned.

A campaign spokesperson, however, declined to clarify why so many foreign donations are still in Mamdani’s war chest.

The foreign donations have sparked criticism.

“Where there’s smoke, there’s fire, so I would be very concerned,” said Republican mayoral candidate Curtis Sliwa, upon learning of the foreign money coming into Mamdani’s campaign. “There is probably a lot more in terms of foreign money.”

“It’s very problematic, not just for Zohran Mamdani, but anybody who has these kinds of PACs, because it’s a license to illegally funnel money,” Sliwa told The Post. “And foreign countries know you don’t have to go to war against America. All you gotta do is manipulate the election.”

The Mamdani campaign has given back a paltry $5,608 — including a contribution from Bariah Dardari, the mother of Mamdani’s new bride Rama Duwaji.

It looks like an investigation — and possible conviction — for Mamdani could be on the horizon…

This news certainly got Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon’s attention:

What do you think?

Should Mamdani be investigated and arrested for accepting illegal foreign donations?
