Zohran Mamdani frequently claims that his campaign for mayor of New York is powered by regular citizens. It’s also powered by thousands of dollars in potentially illegal campaign contributions, according to new records.
The socialist Democrat raked in overseas donations that are prohibited under federal law, according to a review by the NY Post. Some of the money even came from his mother-in-law, a resident of Dubai.
All told, upwards of 170 of Mamdani’s nearly 54,000 contributions originated on foreign soil, totaling $13,000 that could have far-reaching consequences for the Muslim mayoral candidate. All were reported to the NYC Campaign Finance Board, which oversees the Big Apple’s elections.
