Ways and Means backs DOJ probe into Singham-linked U.S. nonprofits
DOJ targets Singham nonprofits

Congressional scrutiny of U.S.-based tax-exempt groups linked to Neville Roy Singham is widening as a Justice Department investigation advances. The case centers on allegations that several nonprofit organizations tied to Singham promote Chinese Communist Party interests and may be using nonprofit structures to support disruptive activity in the U.S.

Highlights

  • House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Jason Smith confirms a grand jury is issuing subpoenas in a DOJ probe of Singham-linked tax-exempt organizations.
  • The committee is investigating whether Singham-affiliated nonprofits improperly leveraged tax-exempt status to support activities counter to U.S. economic and national security interests.
  • BreakThrough News, Tricontinental, and The People’s Forum face scrutiny for allegedly disseminating Chinese Communist Party propaganda and risk congressional subpoenas if they withhold documents.

Committee oversight and federal investigation

As reported by the House Committee on Ways and Means, Chairman Jason Smith says a grand jury is issuing subpoenas in a Trump Administration Department of Justice investigation into Singham and a network of U.S.-based tax-exempt organizations operating under committee scrutiny.

Smith says the committee’s oversight of the U.S. nonprofit sector is examining whether organizations tied to Singham are benefiting from tax-exempt status while acting against U.S. economic and national security interests. He says the investigation is focused on financial links and on whether nonprofit resources are being used in ways that conflict with the purpose of the tax code.

Organizations named and potential compliance risks

The committee says three organizations, BreakThrough News, Tricontinental, and The People’s Forum, along with Singham himself, are under investigation for allegedly spreading Chinese Communist Party propaganda in the U.S. and contributing to unrest in cities and communities across the country.

The Ways and Means Committee says it has demanded documents related to the groups’ activities and funding streams as part of its ongoing oversight. It also says the organizations could face congressional subpoenas if they do not comply with the committee’s requests.
