WASHINGTON (AP) — The Justice Department is investigating whether leaders in the Black Lives Matter movement defrauded donors who contributed tens of millions of dollars during racial justice protests in 2020, according to multiple people familiar with the matter.

In recent weeks, federal law enforcement officials have issued subpoenas and at least one search warrant as part of an investigation into the Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation, Inc. and other Black-led organizations that helped spark a national reckoning on systemic racism, said the people, who were not authorized to discuss an ongoing criminal probe by name and spoke on condition of anonymity to The Associated Press.

It was not clear if the investigation would result in criminal charges, but its mere existence invites fresh scrutiny to a movement that in recent years has faced criticism about its public accounting of donations they have received. The recent burst of investigative activity is also unfolding at a time when civil rights groups have raised concerns about the potential for the Trump administration to target a broad variety of progressive and left-leaning groups that have been critical of him, including those affiliated with BLM, the transgender rights movement and anti-ICE protesters.

1. Nearly everything he does vis-a-vis his lapdogs at DoJ has some parallel with some slight he perceived against himself

in the past. That's why he's going after James on an issue relating to real estate. This one is because the Build The Wall assholes were pursued for defrauding his constituents. Obviously he doesn't care about his constituents being defrauded, and he REALLY doesn't care about BLM supporters being defrauded. But 'The Wall' is associated with him, ergo, the Build The Wall people getting in trouble is a personal affront to him. He considers the DoJ to be HIS, for HIS use, to punish any people or entities who have irritated him, personally.

Because he's a pathological narcissist and a fascist asshole, with zero regard for decency or The Constitution.

2. Let me guess. "Mortgage fraud?"
