Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita filed a lawsuit against the Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation as part of an investigation into donations and tax filings.
Rokita filed the lawsuit in efforts to force the foundation to respond to a Civil Investigative Demand issued several months ago, Just the News reports.
“There are concerning patterns of behavior from this organization, and we will do what it takes – including this lawsuit – to get to the bottom of it,” Rokita said. “Protecting Indiana consumers from this house of cards is critical.”
In February, Rokita opened up an investigation into the use of BLM funds that were donated by Indiana residents. According to his office, a 2020 report showed the BLM-related foundation received over $90 million in donations and distributed about $21.7 million to 30 affiliated chapters.
However, an IRS filing indicated that BLM had $0 in revenue, assets and expenses.
According to Indiana law, failure to comply with the civil investigation could result in sanctions including prohibiting the organization from future fundraising in Indiana.
“There are many Indiana stakeholders and donors who have been impacted by these allegations,” Rokita said in a statement. “This lawsuit will allow for a court to swiftly and efficiently resolve the state’s request for information.”

I hope that doesn’t turn out to be just a PR stunt.
Knowing how useless the courts these days, seems to be, i fear it just may be!
Does blm stand for Bury Lots of Money into a bottomless pit (secretly owned by a few) where it cannot be easily found or taxed.
“BlACK LIVES MATTER”?? ….. To Whom???
I.A.W. U.S. Census & FBI (Table 43a)
Black males make up about 7% of the U.S. population but every year commit ~56% of all the murders and ~64% of all robberies in the U.S… Every year in the U.S. there are ~6,000 African-Americans men, women and children killed and 92% of them were killed by fellow African-Americans.
Where is the outrage from “Black Lives Matter” and prominent members of the African-American community? Where are the words of condemnation and sorrow from “Black Lives Matter”, Obama, Al Sharpton, or Jesse Jackson over the fact that members of their own race are summarily executing each other?
How many bodies do you have to step over to get to the one that you think is important only because a White police officer was involved?
Yusra Khogali co-founder of the anti-racial “Black Lives Matter” movement, does not hide her hatred of White people in her comments on social media.
(Yusra Khogali, sounds like a racist to me)
Didn;t you get the memo. ONLY WE whites, can ‘be racist’.
