Lex Orbán Passed in Hungarian Parliament
The Hungarian parliament on Monday, June 15th, voted to amend the country’s constitution and limit the mandates of prime ministers to 8 years, with a retroactive effect.
The amendment, which critics describe as a typical example of ad personam legislation, and is accordingly, dubbed ‘Lex Orbán,’ is widely understood as designed to prevent five-time Hungarian PM and Fidesz president Viktor Orbán from returning to power.
The bill was approved with 135 votes in favour, 50 against, and 6 abstentions.
Viktor Orbán commented on social media, under a card that says “It does not [just] affect me. It is about me.”
Lex Orbán approved. This was the most pressing issue [for the new government]. When I am needed, I’ll be here.
Retroactive laws are usually seen as contrary to the ideals of the rule of law. Whether they are acceptable depends on the legal tradition and the justification offered.

Dems replace ‘mother’ with ‘gestating parent’ in latest woke rewrite of NY law
Mom’s not the word.
A woke new bill erases the terms “mother” and “father” from state child custody and parental laws — a gender-neutral rewriting that’s expected to spark a flood of similarly clunky legislation.
“Mother” would be replaced with “gestating parent” while “father” becomes “non-gestating parent” or “parent” in family court along with in domestic and education law, under the legislation, passed this week by state Democrats.
“Paternity” proceedings to determine a child’s biological father would meanwhile become “parentage” cases, under the bill, which was rammed through the Assembly in March and of the Senate this week.
A “putative father” — also known as a deadbeat dad — would now be called “an alleged parent” in official state records, under the bill, which was sponsored by liberals Sen. Luis Sepulveda (D-Bronx) and Assemblywoman Amy Paulin (D-Westchester) and will go to Gov. Kathy Hochul’s desk for approval.
“It’s woke culture run amok. It’s one-upmanship,” said state Conservative Party Chairman Gerard Kassar, a former longtime state Senate and Assembly staffer.
“It’s an example of how out of tune the New York legislature is. It’s an unnecessary and wasteful use of time,” Kassar said
He said the gender-neutral bill is likely to lead to a stampede of others, and called state lawmakers’ priorities backwards — considering they were almost two months late in passing a state budget.
“Imagine people who are considering moving to New York seeing this and saying, ‘Do I need this silliness?’ This is a really weird group of elected officials. It comes out of left field,” he said.
Republican gubernatorial candidate Bruce Blakeman pounced.
“Democrats led by Kathy Hochul have continued their declaration of war on New York families by canceling the loving terms of Mom and Dad and replacing them with ‘gestating and non-gestating parent,’” Blakeman said in a statement. “The insanity ends when I’m Governor.”
Republicans who voted against the Democratic sponsored bill called it outrageous.
“At a time when New Yorkers are being crushed by utility bills, rising costs, and public safety concerns, Albany Democrats have decided one of their final priorities in the last days of session should be replacing mothers and fathers in state law,” said Sen. Patricia Canzoneri-Fitzpatrick (R-Nassau). “That is not what families are asking for. I am a mother and proud to be called ‘mother.’
“New Yorkers are proud to celebrate moms and dads, and they would rather we, as lawmakers, focus on the issues that actually matter,” she said.
Other members of the Democrat-dominated legislature rolled their eyes as they signed off on the unwieldy phrasing, as the legislative session comes to a close for the fiscal year.
“I have a word we can use for this, ‘unnecessary,’” one Democratic lawmaker told The Post.
Democrat infighting had delayed approval of the massive $268 billion state budget by nearly two months before it was passed last week.
Hochul, who proudly wears the moniker of New York’s “first mom governor,” dodged on saying whether she supported the gender-neutral rewrite.
“Well, I’m not familiar with what was introduced,” Hochul said at an unrelated event in Brooklyn Wednesday. “I’ll take a look at it. This has been my practice for five years.”
A memo accompanying the bill claims the change is necessary because it brings state law into line with generally accepted standards for how family courts handle surrogacy cases and ones with same-sex parents, including couples with two moms.
Adoption lawyers said Wednesday that use of the terms “mother” and “father” in family law is outdated given the growth in same sex couple adoptions and surrogacy contracts.
“You have adoptive parents who are of the same gender in New York. There are two male parents, two female parents,” said adoption lawyer Leslie Silver-Hoffman.
Sepulveda, a Bronx Democrat who chairs the Senate Judiciary Committee, defended his measure.
“The bill was needed to be consistent with current statute and case law,” he said.
US Rep. Claudia Tenney (R-NY) blasted state politicians for the move, saying mothers are “the foundation of families and society” and not a “political construct.”
“At a time when New Yorkers are struggling with high taxes, rising costs, and public safety concerns, Albany Democrats are focused on redefining motherhood,” Tenney said. “This is yet another example of out-of-touch politicians prioritizing progressive ideology over the issues that actually matter to hardworking New Yorkers.”
State Assemblyman Sam Pirozzolo (R-Staten Island) said it was another example of Democrats conjuring up problems.

US attorney in California suspects voter fraud investigation will result in charges
Essayli said his team and Assistant Attorney General for the Civil Rights Division Harmeet Dhillon have been trying to audit the state for over a year under the National Voter Registration Act, the Help America Vote Act and the Civil Rights Act.
First Assistant U.S. Attorney for the Central District of California Bill Essayli warned recently that a federal investigation into allegations of voter fraud in the state could yield criminal charges.
Essayli announced Saturday that his office was partnering with the FBI on multiple election fraud investigations and accused California of denying federal prosecutors access to voter registration records.
The federal prosecutor said his team and Assistant Attorney General for the Civil Rights Division Harmeet Dhillon have been trying to audit the state for over a year under the National Voter Registration Act, the Help America Vote Act and the Civil Rights Act.
“I expect people will be charged," Essayli said in a Monday appearance on “The Glenn Beck Program.” "But we need a wide-scale audit of the California voter roll, which is what Harmeet and I have been trying to do for the last year."
The comment comes amid questions of fraud in the state's most recent primary where more than 4.2 million mail-in ballots have been returned and accepted by the state. In California, mail-in ballots are counted as long as they are either dropped off in person by 8 p.m. on Election Day, or postmarked by Election Day and received by county election offices by the following Tuesday.
Essayli admitted that successful prosecution of widespread election fraud would face significant hurdles because thousands of voters would need to be charged to prove that the misconduct changes the outcome of the California election.
“California is a fraudster’s paradise, make no mistake about that, whether it’s hospice fraud, health care fraud or election fraud,” Essayli told Beck.
The attorney did not provide evidence of voter fraud in the state or recent election.

FBI stopped alleged terror plot to attack UFC 250 event with drones and snipers, officials said
“Planned attacks were stopped cold," FBI director Kash Patel said.
The FBI stopped a terror plot involving as many as two dozen perpetrators to attack Sunday’s UFC 250 fight at the White House with explosive-laden drones and snipers, officials told Just the News on Tuesday.
At least five people have been arrested, and agents are working to identify as many as 18 others who appeared to be involved in the planning on encrypted chats communicating with the alleged plotters, officials said.
FBI Director Kash Patel confirmed the arrests, first reported by Fox News, in a statement obtained by Just the News.
“On June 10, FBI and our law enforcement partners became aware of a potential threat to the UFC America 250 event in Washington, D.C. involving individuals outside of the National Capital Region – and thanks to the rapid action of this FBI, our partners, and the Department of Justice in a multi-state operation, multiple individuals are now in custody and allegedly planned attacks were stopped cold,” Patel said.
"While the result represented the best of investigative work, it was also nothing out of the ordinary for this law enforcement team – we are built to detect, respond to, and bring to justice those who threaten the lives of American citizens - particularly during large gatherings like the historic UFC 250 fight," he added.
A dozen FBI offices around the country were involved in the investigation, and one of the first arrests occurred in Cincinnati, officials said.
Officials said they believed the goal of the plot was to attack the site of the fight on the White House South Lawn with one or more explosive-laden drones, causing panicked fans to flee into areas where snipers would then shoot them.
Officials said more details would likely emerge when indictments are filed in court against some of the perpetrators in the coming days.

Biden DOJ targeted parents at school board meetings despite FBI, sheriffs' objections, memos show
AFL said it acquired the documents as part of its ongoing lawsuit related to former Attorney General Merrick Garland’s October 4, 2021 memorandum that targeted concerned parents at school board meetings during the COVID pandemic.
FFormer President Joe Biden’s Justice Department used federal law enforcement to target parents at school board meetings as potential threats "despite warnings from FBI officials and the National Sheriffs’ Association," according to America First Legal's analysis of new government documents it obtained.
AFL, a conservative legal nonprofit, said it acquired the documents as part of its ongoing lawsuit related to former Attorney General Merrick Garland’s October 4, 2021 memorandum that targeted concerned parents at school board meetings during the COVID pandemic.
"On October 4, 2021 — the day the memo was released — FBI Deputy Assistant Director Jay Greenberg emailed the Office of the Deputy Attorney General, stating the FBI had 'some concern.' He requested “additional time to engage” before messaging about the infamous memo went out," AFL wrote on X, linking to the DOJ documents it obtained.
Greenberg also asked for help “to find common ground we can all support” on the situation.
Some inside DOJ also fretted the strategy would boomerang, and create a political headache for elections,
"I don't think it's possible to state how strongly I object to this. It will completely and totally nuke our election threats efforts, and will damage the reputation of the Public Integrity Section into the bargain," one top DOJ official wrote in an email. "It's like they've affirmatively trying to make this thing not work and look political."
"If they do this, they might as well rename the damn thing the Anti-MAGA Task Force," an official wrote.
The National Sheriffs’ Association also shared concerns like those of the FBI, the memos show.
"On October 8, 2021, the National Sheriffs’ Association reached out to officials in the Associate Deputy Attorney General’s Office, stating that its sheriffs had 'not heard any concerns about threats to local school boards' and that 'it would have been nice to have a heads-up,'" the group wrote on X, referencing the internal emails it obtained.
Despite the concerns raised, Garland’s memo was issued on October 4, 2021.
“Threats against public servants are not only illegal, they run counter to our nation’s core values,” wrote Attorney General Garland. “Those who dedicate their time and energy to ensuring that our children receive a proper education in a safe environment deserve to be able to do their work without fear for their safety.”
The FBI enforced the memo, AFL noted, establishing a new threat tag, “EDUOFFICIALS.”

Russian strikes kill 11 and set historic cathedral in Kyiv ablaze
At least 11 people have been killed in a wave of Russian strikes on Ukraine that set a major religious landmark in Kyiv on fire, President Volodymyr Zelensky says.
Four people were killed in attacks on the Ukrainian capital, while five rescue workers died trying to put out a fire caused by a strike on the north-eastern city of Kharkiv, officials said.
The 11th Century Dormition Cathedral was significantly damaged in what Zelensky called "one of the biggest Russian crimes against Christian culture today". Russia denied hitting the site.
Meanwhile, a Ukrainian drone attack in the Russian city of Tula killed three people and wounded three others, including a one-year-old, local officials said.
Drone and missile strikes set fire to buildings and cars and left more than 140,000 people in Kyiv without electricity, its Mayor Vitali Klitschko said.
Most of Ukraine was under air raid warnings on Monday morning.
The Kyiv strikes, which targeted several residential buildings, left at least 23 people wounded. Zelensky said a total of 53 people had been injured across Ukraine.

Controversy over Viktor Orban ‘migrant center’ that never happened
ungarian Prime Minister Péter Magyar and former prime minister Viktor Orbán clashed on Saturday, 13 June, over allegations that the previous Fidesz administration secretly planned to establish a migrant reception centre in the western Hungarian village of Vitnyéd while publicly denying any such intention and campaigning against the EU Migration Pact.
Magyar held an extraordinary press conference on Saturday, describing the affair as evidence of ‘one of the Orbán government’s biggest lies’ and presenting a series of internal government documents from 2024 that he said proved plans for a migrant reception centre had been actively prepared behind the scenes.
According to documents released by the government, internal discussions began shortly after the European Court of Justice (CJEU) imposed a €200 million fine on Hungary in June 2024, together with a daily penalty of €1 million over the country’s asylum policy. The material presented by Magyar included cabinet decisions, Interior Ministry documents, planning proposals, and budget estimates related to the Vitnyéd–Csermajor site.
The documents suggest that senior government officials repeatedly examined options for accommodating asylum seekers near the Austrian border. One August 2024 cabinet decision authorized the interior minister to carry out developments at the Vitnyéd property aimed at making it suitable for receiving refugees. Other documents referred to a reception facility with hundreds of places, renovation works, temporary container housing, sanitation infrastructure, and security arrangements.
A timeline presented during the press conference sought to demonstrate that the plans evolved over several months and reached the highest levels of government. According to the documents, the issue first appeared on the cabinet agenda shortly after the CJEU ruling of 13 June 2024 and was subsequently discussed at government meetings on 7 July, 25 July, 21 August, and 11 September. The timeline also highlighted an Interior Ministry coordination meeting on 30 August, the emergence of local media reports in early September, police guarding the site, public denials by Fidesz politicians, and a local demonstration against the project later that month.
Among the most politically sensitive documents presented by Magyar was a summary of a government meeting which concluded that ‘for 2026 it is necessary to escalate the political conflict related to migration’. The same discussions included decisions concerning the development of the Vitnyéd site and broader strategies for handling migration following the CJEU ruling.
Magyar and the Tisza Party argue that the wording suggests Fidesz and Orbán intended to further politicize the issue and deliberately intensify tensions surrounding migration ahead of the 2026 parliamentary election in order to divert public attention from what they describe as more pressing concerns, including ‘widespread corruption’ and the ‘deteriorating state of public services’ in Hungary.
Magyar further stressed that the documents directly contradict public statements made by Fidesz politicians at the time. Throughout September 2024, government officials and local Fidesz politicians repeatedly denied reports that a migrant camp was being established in Vitnyéd.
Following the release of the documents, Magyar accused the previous government of deceiving the public. ‘The documents released today reveal that the Orbán government secretly built a migrant camp in Vitnyéd in 2024. They lied to the Hungarian people about everything,’ he wrote on social media. He also questioned why the plans had been concealed and who would take responsibility for what he described as a deliberate deception.
Fidesz and Orbán have strongly rejected the government’s interpretation of the documents, arguing that the plans never reflected a genuine intention to establish a migrant reception centre.
Arriving at Fidesz’s party congress on Saturday, former Minister heading the Prime Minister’s Office and Fidesz parliamentary group leader Gergely Gulyás insisted that the Orbán government had consistently opposed both the EU Migration Pact and migrant relocation. He argued that the Vitnyéd-related government decisions were merely a ‘tactical tool’ used during negotiations with Brussels in an attempt to have the migration-related penalties imposed on Hungary withdrawn.
According to Gulyás, the government never intended to actually construct the facility. He maintained that the plans formed part of a broader negotiating strategy with the European Union rather than preparations to accommodate migrants.

Brother and sister guilty of attacking girls in Dundee
A man has been found guilty of making sexual remarks to a group of girls aged between 12 and 14 in Dundee before grabbing and pushing one of them to the ground.
Ilia Belov, 22, claimed he confronted the girls after receiving abusive remarks and said he saw one of the girls with a knife in her waistband before the assault.
His sister Nadjedzha Belova, 20, previously admitted assaulting a 13-year-old girl by seizing and pulling her hair, dragging her to the ground, and striking her on the head to her injury during the incident.
The pair will be sentenced at Dundee Sheriff Court on 5 August.
The court heard that Belov had said "hello sexy, I'll show you a good time" to the girls while walking past them in the Lochee area of the city.
After one of the girls called him a creep, he had returned to confront the group and called his sister, who arrived shortly afterwards and assaulted one of the girls.
Belov then claimed he had seen the girl's weapon and, fearing for his sister had pushed her.
He claimed the children had called him a migrant and used an expletive.
But Sheriff Tim Niven-Smith rejected Belov's claim of self-defence and said the girls' evidence had been "eloquent."
He said: "I am entirely satisfied by proof beyond reasonable doubt that the trigger for all of this were the comments that you made."
The court heard previously that the 12-year-old girl Belov attacked admitted pulling a knife and axe from her waistband, but only after Belov had assaulted her.
The girl told the trial previously that her sister started to shout at Belov after the remarks, but the pair were pulled away by a friend.
She then told the court Belova approached the group, pushed her and threw her sister to the ground.
The girl said she had tried "to go for" the woman but was pushed by Belov.
She said he pushed her on the head and her head hit the handrail of a ramp.
Cross-examined by Belov's solicitor Larry Flynn, the girl said she had then taken the axe and knife from her waistband, and that Belov filmed her with them on his phone.
Belov told the trial that he had been walking to a shop with his father for cigarettes when he saw a group of young girls.
He claimed that they started to make "cheeky remarks" and one called him a "(expletive) migrant."
Asked by Flynn if he said "hello sexy" to the girls or "I'll show you a good time", he replied "No, I swear on my god."
Belov claimed that after walking away, he was still being "disrespected" so he turned around and went back to the group.
He said at that point the girls "started panicking" and said he was following them.
Belov said he then phoned his sister as the group had grown in numbers and he was "worried about myself."
Belov said his sister then arrived and grabbed one of the girls by the hair and pushed her.
Asked when he saw the other girl holding the weapon, he said "After I pushed her."
He said he had previously seen a knife sticking out of her t-shirt.
Asked why he pushed the girl, he said: "I thought she was going to do something."
After the girl fell to the ground and got up, Belov said she "pulled a knife and axe and tried to get to us."
Belov said he filmed the girl as she held the weapons, which the court heard were recovered from a nearby roundabout.
'Heartbreaking' CCTV footage
Prosecutor Michael Robertson asked Belov: "You were the adult in this situation, you could have just walked away couldn't you?"
Belov replied: "You are right. I needed to know why they are disrespecting me for no reason."
Robertson said: "You phoned your sister and not the police?"
Belov said: "I thought we were in danger."
Robertson put it to Belov that he had not previously seen a knife when he pushed the girl and only saw the weapon after she got back up.
He replied: "I'm pretty sure I saw the knife behind her back."
Speaking after the conviction, a girl's mother told BBC Scotland News the guilty verdict was "a good thing."
She said: "They were telling the truth and they were slandered. There were too many lies at the start, so I'm glad it's all come out."
The woman said that it was "heartbreaking" seeing her daughter getting "dragged about" on the CCTV shown in court.

Sean Penn Directing January 6 Drama With Bradley Cooper Starring as Capitol Cop
Sean Penn will direct a film about the early life of a cop who was present for the Jan. 6 storming of the United States Capitol. Bradley Cooper is being eyed for the lead role, though the real life inspiration for the film has yet to be identified. The film is currently untitled and has been set up at Warner Bros. It is described as “an unexpected story about friendship,” which needs a little work as a marketing hook and seems like a clear attempt to minimize any future controversy.
To that end, insiders insist the film is not really about Jan. 6 and is only tangentially related to the attacks. Despite that spin, it’s unclear how this project will play with David Ellison and the team at Paramount who are poised to buy Warner Bros. Discovery now that the Justice Department has cleared their merger. Ellison has made a point of highlighting his family’s ties to Donald Trump, hosting a dinner for the president and members of his administration in April and showing up at the UFC fight that was held at the White House last weekend. That event, which was held on Trump’s 80th birthday, was broadcast on Paramount+, Ellison’s streaming service. Penn, who has called Trump “an enemy of mankind,” is of a different political persuasion.
The actor recently won his third Oscar for “One Battle After Another,” which Warner Bros. produced. Penn also won Oscars for his performances in “Mystic River” and “Milk.” His credits include “Dead Man Walking” and “Sweet and Lowdown,” but he has been busy behind the camera over the course of his career. As a director, Penn’s films include “The Indian Runner,” “Into the Wild” and “The Pledge.” Penn wrote the script for his Jan. 6 film and will produce with John Ira Palmer and John Wildermuth under their Projected Picture Works banner. Production is targeting a mid-2027 start.
Cooper is also an acclaimed director, with Penn publicly praising his work on “A Star is Born.” The actor most recently directed and appeared in “Is This Thing On?” and also starred in and directed “Maestro.” Cooper’s credits include “American Sniper,” “The Hangover” and the upcoming “Ocean’s 11” prequel, in which he will star with Margot Robbie.
The deal with Warner Bros. was negotiated by CAA Media Finance. Penn and Projected Picture Works are represented by CAA; Cooper is represented by Range Media Partners. Deadline broke the news of Penn’s next project.

Judge who had sex in courthouse and attended political event agrees to exit Georgia election case
A federal judge who was disciplined after an investigation found that she had sex with a police officer in her chambers and attended a partisan event, then lied when confronted with the allegations, has recused herself in a fight over Georgia election records after the U.S. Department of Justice raised questions about her ability to be impartial.
The Justice Department sought to remove U.S. District Judge Eleanor Ross from the case, citing her reported attendance at an event for Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, who prosecuted President Donald Trump. Ross on Tuesday filed an order recusing herself, writing that she was doing so “out of an abundance of caution for the potential perception of bias.”
The Justice Department had sued Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger seeking an unredacted statewide voter list, and Ross was presiding over that case.
“Both the Trump administration’s present and Willis’s past efforts have become heavily polarized,” Ross wrote, explaining that she “cannot discount” that an objective observer might interpret her attendance at an event sponsored by Willis’ campaign as support for the district attorney’s position, even if she only went to see former colleagues.
Ross received a “private reprimand” after a court investigation found that she had sex in the courthouse with a high-ranking uniformed police officer within earshot of staff, attended a partisan event and then initially lied to deny the allegations.
The investigation report says Ross went to an event hosted by a district attorney’s campaign. The judge said the district attorney had been a friend since 1999 and acknowledged having gone to the a private mixer held on the sidelines of the event to visit with former colleagues in the district attorney’s office.
Ross previously worked in the Fulton County District Attorney’s Office and overlapped there with Willis there before Willis was district attorney.
Willis in August 2023 obtained an indictment against Trump and 18 others, accusing them of participating in a wide-ranging scheme to overturn Georgia’s 2020 election results. That case was ultimately dismissed in November.

SPLC boss funneled $1.2 million to lover in neo-Nazi group — pair even had joint bank account
A top Southern Poverty Law Center official is accused of helping funnel $1.2 million in donor money to an informant in the National Alliance white supremacist group — who was also allegedly her lover.
The Department of Justice filed a superseding indictment against the SPLC accusing it of funneling donor cash to hate groups they were then telling donors they were fighting.
One figure, referred to as "Employee-2" in the indictment, is described as a "person who would become Director of the SPLC's Intelligence Project."
It also describes how "Employee-2" wrote an article based on material stolen from National Alliance headquarters in 2014 and then paid off an informant to take the blame for the robbery.
Based on the details in the June 2 superseding indictment, "Employee-2" is believed to be Heidi Beirich, a 58-year-old fascism expert who was the director of intelligence at the Alabama-based anti-extremism nonprofit between 2012 and 2019.
The indictment alleges Beirich was very close to the informant known only as "F-9" who "infiltrated the neo-Nazi organization National Alliance."
"[Beirich] was also in a romantic relationship with F-9. During this relationship, [Beirich] and F-9 shared a house and two bank accounts," the indictment alleges.
"Between 2015 and 2021, approximately $140,000 in donors' money flowed from the SPLC operating account … and was ultimately deposited into the joint bank accounts held by F-9 and [Beirich].
"This amounted to approximately 66% of all money ever deposited into their joint bank accounts. [Beirich] then used donors' money to pay the couple's personal living expenses."
The indictment also claims that while getting paid by the SPLC, the unnamed informant was also raising money for the National Alliance and helping to "carry out its extremist activities."
The indictment describes how a source broke into National Alliance's headquarters in West Virginia in 2014 and "stole approximately 25 boxes of documents," took them over state lines into North Carolina and copied them, before returning the originals.
In 2015, Beirich wrote an article allegedly based on the stolen materials for her group's "Hatewatch" section of its website. That article, "Chaos at the Compound," is still available.
The indictment then describes how the SPLC tried to cover up who their informant was by paying a second informant "approximately $6,000" to take responsibility for the burglary.
Beirich and SPLC did not respond to requests for comment from The Post.
"I knew it was that fat, ugly hog Heidi Beirich," National Alliance chairman William White Williams, 78, told The Post from his home in east Tennessee. He also confirmed the details of the indictment match what happened to the group.
"I think some of those cluckers wanted to get out of the movement and they went to the SPLC for help. But instead of helping them, [the SPLC] said, 'Why don't you stay in and get paid?'" he added of the informants.
Beirich had joined the SPLC in 1999 and became director of the Intelligence Project in 2012. She left in 2019 as part of a massive shake-up, when many top brass departed amid accusations of racism and sexual harassment, with the group mainly being run by white people and black people in its lower ranks. Beirich was not publicly implicated in those scandals.
Alabama-based SPLC has been charged with wire fraud, bank fraud and money laundering conspiracy for allegedly engaging "in the active promotion of racist groups at the same time that the SPLC was denouncing the same groups on its website," acting Attorney General Todd Blanche and FBI Director Kash Patel announced on April 21.
Patel charged that far from using spies to dismantle the hate groups, the SPLC gave them over $4 million to keep promoting their ideologies, thus giving them something to point out and seek donors to fight against. The nonprofit has amassed some $800 million to do so, its publicly released nonprofit accounting shows.
