Ron DeSantis, Other Republicans, Vow To Investigate GoFundMe After It Stops Donations To Trucker Convoy

On Friday the website seized donations that were given to the Canadian “Freedom Convoy” protesting COVID-19 regulations and initially said it would redistribute the donations to charities approved by the convoy organizers and the company, Fox News reported.

On Friday, the crowdfunding platform GoFundMe froze the convoy’s official campaign, claiming law enforcement convinced the company that the convoy had become violent and unlawful.

GoFundMe encouraged donors to submit a refund form, and said that any funds not properly returned to donors would be donated to a charity chosen by the Freedom Convoy.
