US EditionMamdani mayoral campaign took in $13,000 in illegal foreign donations, records show
Mamdani’s campaign accepted nearly $13,000 from at least 170 foreign donors, with $7,190 still unreturned, raising concerns over compliance with U.S. campaign finance laws.
- Last week, Zohran Mamdani, New York mayoral candidate, accepted nearly $13,000 in potentially illegal foreign contributions and said the campaign would return funds after a board review.
- U.S. law prohibits donations from non-citizens or permanent residents, and records show Mamdani’s mother-in-law in Dubai gave $500 that was refunded.
- Financial filings indicate Mamdani’s campaign returned more than $5,000 so far, while $7,190 remains unreturned from 88 donors.
- Mamdani’s team refused to explain why some foreign donations remain in the campaign account and declined Washington Examiner and New York Post requests for clarification, though records show no direct evidence the campaign knew the donations came from abroad.
- Campaign filings show most of the reported $10 million was spent before the primary, and media reports say Mamdani is refunding thousands amid growing scrutiny.
