SPLC leader testifies on Capitol Hill amid DOJ probe

Fox News chief congressional correspondent Chad Pergram joins ‘America’s Newsroom’ to report on a Capitol Hill hearing examining allegations of fraud and money laundering involving the Southern Poverty Law Center.

Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, presides over a contentious hearing, accusing the Southern Poverty Law Center of weaponizing civil rights policy to target conservative groups. Jordan details allegations that SPLC defrauded donors by funneling over $4 million to informants within extremist organizations, some of whom were paid to purchase KKK robes and cross-burning materials. This unprecedented inquiry raises questions about the organization's financial practices and influence.
