SPLC Accused of Paying Extremists with Donor Funds
The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) faces federal charges for allegedly paying over $3 million to individuals linked with hate groups between 2014 and 2023. An indictment claims the SPLC used donor funds to pay leaders of extremist organizations while simultaneously producing reports on their activities. This alleged practice contradicts the SPLC's public mission of dismantling such groups.
