The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) used donor funds to pay Ku Klux Klan (KKK) members to remain with the racist organization despite their insistence on wanting to leave, according to a new superseding Justice Department indictment.
The new bombshell came as part of a new DOJ filing first reported Tuesday evening that expands on the allegations contained in the agency’s April indictment against the SPLC. The department revealed that the SPLC — a far-left group known for putting targets on the backs of conservative organizations by falsely labeling them as “hate groups” — had been charged with 11 counts related to allegedly making fraudulent payments to extremist groups like the KKK as part of a supposedly “covert” informant scheme.
