  "account": "President Donald Trump announced on Monday that he will offer $1 million to individuals who report instances of voter fraud, with the reward applicable to both past and upcoming elections. The offer was made on Trump's Truth Social platform, stating that anyone who reports voter fraud leading to an arrest and conviction will receive the payment upon conviction. However, the source does not provide information on how people can submit their reports, who would determine the validity of the claims, or whether this offer is part of an existing federal program. The White House did not offer any additional details when contacted by Newsweek, instead directing them to Trump's Truth Social post. This announcement comes just over a week before the 2026 midterm elections and follows a series of other cash incentives and spending proposals made by Trump in the run-up to the midterms. The Justice Department had previously charged 113 people in 20 states with illegal voting and registration offenses, but the administration has been pursuing voter registration records and seeking access to detailed voter lists from various states. The $1 million reward is the latest in a series of financial incentives proposed by Trump to bolster his election integrity efforts.",
