DOJ reportedly investigating possible fraud by Black Lives Matter
Various organizations and leaders related to Black Lives Matter are under investigation for possible fraud, according to sources that spoke to the Associated Press.
Sources familiar with the matter told the AP that at least one search warrant has been served and that several subpoenas have been issued in the Department of Justice investigation.
The foundation last reported in financial filings that it had amassed over $28 million in assets.
The report said that the Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation Inc. was one of the groups being investigated. The foundation last reported in financial filings that it had amassed over $28 million in assets.
The AP report said the sources spoke to the outlet anonymously because they were not authorized to speak publicly.
While there were no indications of criminal charges yet, the report showed a renewed focus on investigating radical leftist groups by the DOJ. President Donald Trump has declared that law enforcement officials will root out the funding for violent rioting related to politics.
A spokesperson for the DOJ declined to comment to the AP report.
Support for the group increased after the death of George Floyd while he was in police custody in 2020, but the large-scale rioting across the U.S. in the months afterward led to many turning away from the movement.
The foundation said Thursday it was 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,” reads a statement from the foundation.

ICE officer shoots at driver who tried to run over agent during vehicle stop in California, DHS says
A driver tried to run over an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent who was involved in a vehicle stop in California, according to the Department of Homeland Security.
The Ontario Police Department said it provided aid to the agents after receiving a call Thursday morning about a shooting.
One of the officers fired ‘defensive shots’ at the vehicle out of fear for his life.
DHS spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin said the agents performed the traffic stop at about 6:30 a.m. on Vineyard Avenue when another car pulled up in front of them, according to the Los Angeles Times.
The officers ordered the other driver to leave, McLaughlin said, and he seemed about to comply when “the car stopped and attempted to run officers over by reversing directly at them without stopping.”
One of the officers fired “defensive shots” at the vehicle out of fear for his life, according to McLaughlin.
“The subject fled the scene and abandoned his vehicle,” she added.
Ontario police were not involved in the shooting and offered only traffic control and security while DHS investigated the incident.
Video from KTTV showed scenes recorded from a news helicopter.
