House Judiciary Committee subpoenas Southern Poverty Law Center over allegations of funding extremist groups
The House Judiciary Committee subpoenaed the SPLC following a federal indictment alleging the organization funneled millions in donor funds to members of extremist groups including the KKK between 2014 and 2023. The SPLC previously failed to produce documents requested by the committee. Rep. Jim Jordan has raised additional questions about whether the SPLC paid confidential sources involved in January 6, 2021 events.
