A probe into the Marxist nonprofit Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation (BLMGNF), which was initially opened under the Biden-Harris administration, has seen renewed interest from federal prosecutors in President Trump's second term over allegations that the far-left group defrauded donors.
AP News reports that the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Central District of California, in Los Angeles, is conducting a federal investigation into BLMGNF. Federal agents have issued subpoenas and at least one search warrant in recent weeks targeting the foundation and other affiliated groups.
Here's more from the report
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.
. . .
One of the people said the investigation had been initiated during the Biden administration but is getting renewed attention during the Trump administration. A second person confirmed that allegations were examined in the Biden administration.
The foundation said it took in over $90 million in donations, following the 2020 murder of George Floyd...
Critics of the nonprofit foundation, and of the BLM movement broadly, accused organizers of not being transparent about how it was spending the donations. That criticism grew louder after BLM foundation leaders in 2022 confirmed they used donations to purchase a $6 million Los Angeles-area property that includes a home with six bedrooms and bathrooms.

A new U.S.-instigated foreign war is apparently imminent, incoming from the “Peace President” who promised to end such global adventurism.
The Trump administration is reportedly preparing to strike military installations in Venezuela, targeting facilities linked to alleged drug trafficking and the Soles cartel, with potential strikes expected within hours or days, according to multiple press reports.
The Wall Street Journal reported Thursday night that the administration is preparing to attack a variety of targets inside Venezuela, including “ports and airports controlled by the military that are allegedly used to traffic drugs, including naval facilities and airstrips.”
It’s my opinion that invading Venezuela will turn out to be a big mistake, potentially resulting in another long, drawn-out military operation of the type America can no longer afford. It’s these types of foreign adventures and the idea that we must be the final arbiter of what leader is allowed to rule which country that has led to the buildup of an unsustainable $38 trillion national debt.
The Defense Department’s newly established “quick reaction force” within the National Guard must be trained, equipped with riot-control gear and ready for deployment by January 1, according to internal documents reviewed by The Post.
The 200 troops will be drawn from National Guard personnel whose primary focus is responding to disasters like weather disasters, environmental accidents and terrorist attacks, the documents said.
The Post reports that an existing separate but similar structure, the National Guard Reaction Force, is expected to complete civil unrest training and be fully operational by April 1. The total size of the force will be 23,500 troops across all 50 states and three territories, excluding the District of Columbia, the documents say. Most states will supply 500 personnel for the reaction force, with the rest falling between 250 and 450.
The mandate, along with the growing presence of federal and immigration enforcement officers, suggests further militarization of American cities could take place by the end of the year.
