Trump offers $1 million for voter-fraud tips that bring convictions
ABC News, the Los Angeles Times and France 24 report President Trump pledged $1 million for reports of voter fraud that lead to an arrest and conviction.
President Donald Trump said Monday he would pay $1 million to anyone whose report of voter fraud in past elections or the 2026 midterms leads to an arrest and conviction1,2,3.
He posted the offer on Truth Social1,2,3. The White House would not say how tips should be filed, who would judge them, or where the money would come from1,2,3.
Last week Trump announced a separate program to pay a 1 percent commission on recovered fraud and said he would decide who is paid1,2. It is unclear whether he would play the same role here2.
The announcement came eight days before Nov. 3, as the administration has also gone to court over Alaska’s Senate certification and California mail ballots2,3. Trump has long claimed widespread fraud in past elections; ABC News described those claims as unfounded1.
