The Justice Department is reportedly investigating allegations leaders in the Black Lives Matter movement defrauded donors out of tens of millions of dollars during 2020 protests over the death of George Floyd.
Subpoenas and at least one search warrant have been issued in recent weeks as part of the probe into Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation, Inc. and other groups that helped spark mass protests over police violence and racism, the Associated Press reported on Thursday.
The US Attorney’s Office for the Central District of California, headed by prosecutor Bill Essayli, is reportedly running the investigation.
Essayli, a former Republican assemblyman and private attorney in the Golden State, has been critical of BLM in the past, describing the group as a “radical organization” in 2020.
Multiple sources told the outlet that the investigation was launched by the Biden administration, but has picked up since President Trump took office.
It’s unclear if criminal charges related to fraud claims that have beleaguered the BLM movement in recent years are imminent.
The DOJ did not immediately respond to The Post’s request for comment.
The Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation said it is “not a target of any federal criminal investigation,” in a statement to the AP.
“We remain committed to full transparency, accountability, and the responsible stewardship of resources dedicated to building a better future for Black communities,” the statement continued. --->READ MORE HERE
A probe into the Marxist nonprofit Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation (BLMGNF), which was initially opened under the Biden-Harris administration, has seen renewed interest from federal prosecutors in President Trump's second term over allegations that the far-left group defrauded donors.
AP News reports that the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Central District of California, in Los Angeles, is conducting a federal investigation into BLMGNF. Federal agents have issued subpoenas and at least one search warrant in recent weeks targeting the foundation and other affiliated groups.
Here's more from the report:
It was not clear if the investigation would result in criminal charges, but its mere existence invites fresh scrutiny to a movement that in recent years has faced criticism about its public accounting of donations they have received.
One of the people said the investigation had been initiated during the Biden administration but is getting renewed attention during the Trump administration. A second person confirmed that allegations were examined in the Biden administration.
The foundation said it took in over $90 million in donations, following the 2020 murder of George Floyd...
Critics of the nonprofit foundation, and of the BLM movement broadly, accused organizers of not being transparent about how it was spending the donations. That criticism grew louder after BLM foundation leaders in 2022 confirmed they used donations to purchase a $6 million Los Angeles-area property that includes a home with six bedrooms and bathrooms.

They have already issued multiple subpoenas and executed at least one search warrant.

Recall that left-wing BLM rioters seized on George Floyd's death to unleash riots and chaos nationwide in 2020. The Marxist group later scrubbed from its website a section declaring its goal to "disrupt the Western-prescribed nuclear family structure," in other words, the very family framework that underpins Western civilization. --->READ MORE HERE
