The US Department of Justice has reportedly opened a criminal investigation into leaders of the Black Lives Matter movement. The probe examines whether top members defrauded donors who contributed tens of millions of dollars following the 2020 protests over George Floyd's death.
Federal officials have allegedly issued subpoenas and executed at least one search warrant in recent weeks. The inquiry, centred in Los Angeles, focuses on the Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation (BLMGNF) and other groups connected to the racial justice movement. Sources close to the case claim the DOJ began examining the matter years ago and renewed its focus recently.
