Acting AG Todd Blanche says SPLC fraud indictment is not politically motivated, calls conduct 'egregious'

Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche asserted that the Southern Poverty Law Center's (SPLC) federal fraud indictment is not politically motivated, accusing the group of funneling $3 million to extremist groups like the Ku Klux Klan. The SPLC denies the allegations, claiming its use of informants was to gather intelligence on violent groups.
