Trump offers $1 million for voter fraud tips that end in convictions
President Trump posted on Truth Social that he will pay $1 million to anyone who reports voter fraud in past or upcoming elections, if it leads to an arrest and conviction.
President Donald Trump announced on Monday that he will pay $1 million for reports of voter fraud in past elections or the 2026 midterms. Payment depends on the people responsible being arrested and convicted, according to The Guardian and The Hill.
Trump made the offer in a Truth Social post, The Guardian reports. In it, he said the money would be paid "upon the arrest and conviction" of those who committed the fraud. The Hill and The Guardian both quote the post.
The midterm elections are on November 3, according to France 24. The Hill describes the announcement as coming about a week before the vote.
The reports do not say where the money would come from. ABC News says that is unclear. France 24 says Trump gave no details on how the reward would be funded or run.
France 24 notes the offer follows his repeated false claims that he won the 2020 presidential election.
