President Donald Trump said Monday he would pay $1 million to anyone who reports voter fraud in past elections or the Nov. 3 midterms if the report leads to an arrest and conviction^1,2.

He made the offer in a post on Truth Social^1,2. ABC News and the Los Angeles Times both reported that the White House would not add details, including how tips should be submitted or who would decide whether a claim qualifies^1,2.

ABC said it is not clear where the money would come from¹. France 24, carrying an AFP report, likewise said the president gave no details on funding or administration⁴.

The announcement comes eight days before the midterm elections, in which both chambers of Congress are at stake^2,4. Trump has repeatedly claimed widespread voter fraud in prior contests; ABC described those claims as unfounded¹.

Last week, Trump announced a separate program to pay people who provide information on fraud, saying he would personally decide who is paid^1,2. It is unclear whether he would play a similar role for the voter-fraud reward².

ABC noted that Trump has backed the SAVE America Act, which would require voter identification and proof of citizenship to register; the House passed it this year and it has failed in the Senate¹. The Times placed the reward alongside other administration election moves, including efforts in California and a Justice Department lawsuit involving Alaska's Senate race².

The Guardian also reported the Truth Social post³. What remains unknown is the legal authority for the payments, the verification process, and whether any federal agency will administer the offer^1,2.
