LIVE: Director Patel and Acting Attorney General Blanche hold press conference

David Wilcock is trending on X; many posts saying that he died yesterday of a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

Director Patel [press conference]: The Southern Poverty Law Center, in a massive, sweeping indictment, has been charged with allegations of fraud, and using the banking system to perpetrate that fraud. The Southern Poverty Law Center, themselves, advertise to raise money to dismantle violent extremist groups for a period of at least a decade. They used their donor network to raise money to purportedly dismantle violent extremist groups. However, the SPLC, the Southern Poverty Law Center, used the money they raised from their donor network to actually pay the leadership of these very groups.

Reporter: You're alleging that the Southern Poverty Law Center was paying the leaders of KKK and other groups to continue their operations?

Acting Attorney General Blanche: I'm not alleging that, the grand jury returned an indictment that says that.

Director Patel: I can say unequivocally that I never listen to the fake news mafia, and when they get louder, it just means I'm doing my job.
