U.S. President Donald Trump said he was ready to pay $1 million to people who report cases of fraud in U.S. elections. The reward would apply both to previous elections and to the upcoming 2026 midterm elections for Congress. Trump wrote this on social media, UNN reports.
Details
According to the U.S. president, the money would be paid only after law enforcement officers arrest those involved in the fraud and a court finds them guilty.
Anyone who reports fraud in past elections or in the upcoming 2026 midterm elections will receive $1,000,000 after those who organized the fraud are arrested and convicted!
