George Soros-linked charities funneled $40M to support Zohran Mamdani's campaign: Report
BY CONRAD DIAS(snippet)
WASHINGTON, DC: New York City's Mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani's campaign has faced allegations that it profited from millions of dollars in donations from George Soros-linked charities as part of an elaborate scheme that may have violated federal tax laws.
Mamdani's team has often claimed that the socialist rose from obscurity to become NYC's mayoral candidate, thanks to an organic, grassroots movement, consisting of small donations and hundreds of young people with backpacks canvassing on his behalf.
Conservative investigative website, White Collar Fraud, alleged in its report that a network of tax-exempt organizations connected to billionaire financier George Soros coordinated political and ground operations to support Mamdani in a scheme, involving laundering more than $40million in charitable donations through non-profits and redirecting them into political activity.
Meanwhile, Soros' group disputed the report's findings of improprieties and said it is "riddled with inaccuracies, false assumptions, and misinformation".
The chief accusation in Sam Antar's investigation is that major 501(c)(3) charities, which are entities barred from engaging in partisan politics, funneled millions of dollars to affiliated 501(c)(4) social-welfare groups that can legally conduct limited political work.
His forensic analysis, which includes receipts such as citations to IRS filings, campaign finance records, and internal reports, alleges that the same network of non-profits that publicly describe themselves as "partners" in various progressive causes filed federal forms denying any coordination.
As per the report, this discrepancy suggests not clerical error but what it describes as
"systematic fraud".
Comment:
Yea, using a tax exempt charity for political purposes is illegal.
The IRS and the DOJ should investigate this.
But the Democrat voters will be voting for Mamdani anyway.
