I’ll bet they did.
The Justice Department is probing whether Black Lives Matter (BLM) defrauded donors who sent the organization millions of dollars during the racial justice protests in 2020, the Associated Press is reporting.
Federal law enforcement authorities have issued subpoenas and served a search warrant as part of an investigation into the Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation, Inc. that helped ignite protests in U.S. cities following the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis in May 2020, anonymous sources told the wire service.
Protests in some locations resulted in deaths, rioting, looting, fires, and extensive property destruction.
The Justice Department declined to comment on the Thursday report.
The investigation actually began in the Biden administration, according to one of AP’s sources, and has received renewed attention during the Trump administration.
The BLM foundation said it took in over $90 million in donations following the highly publicized death of Floyd, who was seen on viral video struggling to breathe under the knee of a white Minneapolis police officer who was later convicted of murder.
