Trump offered a 1 million dollar payout for tips about voter fraud
Donald Trump offered $1 million for reports of voter fraud in past elections or the Nov. 3 midterms, saying payment would follow the arrest and conviction of those responsible. He did not say where the money would come from. The offer is separate from a $25 million whistleblower program launched by Trump and JD Vance, with awards up to $30,000.
More context
On Monday, Trump said tips about voter fraud in earlier elections or the 2026 midterms could qualify for a $1 million payout if they resulted in the responsible people being arrested and convicted. The offer appeared in a Truth Social post, which said payment would follow the arrest and conviction of those behind the fraud.
Trump offered no explanation for the source of the funds. The post also gave no instructions for submitting reports or claiming the reward. A White House spokesperson referred NBC News to Trump’s post when asked for more details. The midterm elections are scheduled for Nov. 3.
