"According to a New York City Campaign Finance Board review and reporting by the New York Post, at least 170 donations came from individuals with foreign addresses - a direct violation of federal, state, and local laws that prohibit non-U.S. citizens or non-permanent residents from contributing to political campaigns. The donations, which include contributions from professionals in Canada, Germany, Australia, and the UAE, raise serious concerns about the legality - and integrity - of Mamdani's campaign operation."
"While Mamdani's campaign claimed it would return any donations not in compliance with campaign finance law, records show 88 of those donations - totaling $7,190 - still haven't been returned. A spokesperson declined to explain why. Get 40% off new DailyWire+ annual memberships with code FALL40 at checkout!

Zohran Mamdani's mayoral campaign received nearly $13,000 in donations from individuals listing foreign addresses, including contributors in Australia, Dubai, Canada, Germany, and the UAE. At least 170 donations originated from foreign addresses, which contravenes federal, state, and local prohibitions on non-U.S. citizens or non-permanent residents contributing to campaigns. Records show 88 donations totaling $7,190 remain unreturned despite a campaign pledge to refund noncompliant contributions. The donations have prompted concerns about foreign influence and dark money in Mamdani's $4 million campaign, which has also received $12.7 million in public matching funds.
