DOJ Expands Indictment Against SPLC for Misuse of Donor Funds

The superseding indictment retains 11 counts against the SPLC, including wire fraud and conspiracy, while detailing over $3 million in payments to informants linked to extremist groups from 2014 to 2023.
Prosecutors allege the SPLC concealed donor funds and supported extremist activities, contradicting its public stance against such groups.
The SPLC maintains its innocence, arguing the indictment does not correct previous flaws and that its informant program has prevented violence.
