Justice Department Investigates Black Lives Matter Leaders' Alleged Fraud Involving $90 Million Donations
The U.S. Justice Department is investigating allegations that leaders of the Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation potentially misused tens of millions of dollars in donations received during the 2020 racial justice protests following George Floyd's murder. Federal authorities have issued subpoenas and at least one search warrant as part of this probe, which also involves other Black-led organizations, with the investigation beginning during the Biden administration and gaining renewed focus under President Trump. Critics have questioned the movement's financial transparency, especially after the foundation purchased a $6 million property in Los Angeles in 2022, though foundation leaders deny any wrongdoing and have released tax documents. The decentralized nature of the movement has caused local chapters to express concerns about how funds are managed by the national foundation. Additionally, some affiliated BLM activists have faced criminal charges for misusing funds, such as the sentencing of Sir Maejor Page and a guilty plea from Monica Cannon-Grant for separate fraud cases. The foundation maintains it is not targeted by any federal criminal investigation and remains committed to transparency and responsible stewardship of resources.
