Paxton investigation Southern Poverty Law Center in Texas
In a release, Paxton said that the “radical, woke” SPLC “was funding the very groups it was claiming to oppose.” The Republican Senate candidate added, “My office will ensure that the organization is held accountable for its blatant deception. In announcing the indictment against the SPLC last month, the DOJ alleged that the group secretly funneled more than $3 million in donated funds to individuals associated with the KKK and the American Nazi Party, among other groups, between 2014 and 2023. The 11-count indictment states that the SPLC opened bank accounts connected to a series of fictitious entities to disguise the transactions.
