南方贫困法律中心（SPLC）与美国司法部就其支付线人费用一事展开法律战
Read, Watch or Listen
Washington — The Southern Poverty Law Center told a federal court on Tuesday that law enforcement agencies had long known the nonprofit paid informants to report on the movements of white supremacist and other extremist groups, rejecting statements by Justice Department officials that the organization steered money to Ku Klux Klan members and similar figures without authorities’ knowledge. The filings follow a federal grand jury in Alabama returning an 11-count indictment last week accusing the SPLC of wire and bank fraud for allegedly using donor funds to pay informants; SPLC lawyers asked the court to compel grand jury disclosures and to block Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche from repeating claims the government lacked information about the program, and additional hearings are expected to address disclosure and related evidentiary disputes.
