In explosive legal filings, the DOJ indicted the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) on multiple counts of wire fraud and money laundering – accusing the anti-racism organization of secretly paying millions of donor dollars to KKK leaders, white nationalists, and even organizers of the infamous 2017 Charlottesville rally.
Acting U.S. Attorney General Todd Blanche stated that the SPLC was “manufacturing the extremism it purports to oppose by paying sources to stoke racial hatred.” The documents contain many examples, including allegations of $270,000 paid to a source that “made racist postings under the supervision of the SPLC” and an informant who was paid over $1,000,000 after stealing 25 boxes of documents from another extremist organization – with full support of his high-level SPLC contact.
