DOJ expands indictment against SPLC, alleging $4M secretly funneled to KKK and extremist groups

The Department of Justice expanded an indictment against the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), alleging it secretly funneled over $3 million in donor funds to extremist groups like the Ku Klux Klan between 2014 and 2023. The 11-count indictment includes charges of wire fraud, false statements to a bank, and conspiracy to commit money laundering, with prosecutors claiming SPLC paid informants linked to racist organizations while publicly denouncing them. An SPLC attorney denied the allegations.
