The Department of Justice (DOJ) has launched an investigation into whether organizations that are part of the Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement defrauded donors who gave them $90 million as riots erupted across the U.S. in the summer of 2020, the Associated Press first reported.
The investigation wants to know how Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation, Inc. (BLMGF) and other allied groups handled the surge of donations it received during the mid-2020 riots that broke out following the death of George Floyd on May 25, 2020, anonymous sources familiar with the probe told multipleoutlets. The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Central District of California is reportedly leading the investigation.
Federal officials have already served at least one warrant and issued multiple subpoenas as part of the probe into the BLM groups, the AP reported, citing the anonymous sources.
The investigation originally began when former President Joe Biden was in the White House but was recently revisited under the Trump administration, anonymous sources told the AP.
It remains unclear if the probe will lead to any criminal charges, and none have been filed thus far.
