SPLC Charged with Fraud, Funding Extremist Groups
Federal authorities have charged the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) with fraud, alleging a decade-long scheme to funnel over $3 million to extremist groups. The indictment claims the SPLC misled donors, using funds raised to combat hate to instead pay leaders of organizations like the Ku Klux Klan. The investigation is ongoing, with officials emphasizing the alleged deception of financial institutions and donors.
