House Judiciary subpoenas SPLC for evidence of collusion with Biden admin, CEO to testify in June
The hearing will take place on June 9 at 10 a.m. Eastern.
House Judiciary Republicans confirmed Wednesday night that Southern Poverty Law Center CEO Bryan Fair will testify in front of the committee next month regarding allegations it funded elements of extremist and racist groups.
For decades, the SPLC has positioned itself as the nation’s preeminent watchdog, which maintained a controversial "Hate Map" that increasingly labeled benign conservative organizations and religious groups as hate groups.
But a recent federal indictment returned by a grand jury suggests the organization was playing a double game by allegedly manufacturing the very extremism it claimed to be fighting to keep its fundraising machine humming.
House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan invited Fair to testify in front of the panel in June. He also subpoenaed the organization for documents about its alleged coordination with the Biden-Harris Administration and funding of extremists.
The hearing will take place on June 9 at 10 a.m. Eastern.
