Justice Department Probes Black Lives Matter Financial Practices

The United States Justice Department has launched a probe into the financial dealings of the Black Lives Matter movement, raising questions of possible donor fraud during the racial justice protests of 2020. The investigation involves the Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation, Inc and other Black-led organizations.

Recent federal activities, including subpoenas and search warrants, aim to scrutinize the foundation's handling of tens of millions in donations, sparking renewed public interest and criticism. Despite the probes, foundation leaders assert their commitment to transparency and accountability, denying any federal criminal investigation targeting them.

This investigation, initiated under the Biden administration and drawing attention during the Trump era, delves into allegations of financial misappropriation tied to significant public donations following George Floyd's murder. BLM leaders have defended their actions, citing transparent public records while addressing the accusations raised.
