Black Lives Matter sued for refusing to reveal financial details

The Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation, which rocketed into an influential position in America following the police killing of George Floyd, since then has been involved in a variety of scandals.

Fundraising concerns have erupted, questions have been posted about the group's purchase of a $6 million mansion, and even concerns over its finances because no one appeared to be in charge.

Now it's gone far beyond concerns, with a lawsuit by Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita for its failure to hand over financial information that is required by law.

The Washington Examiner reported the action this week is part of Rokita's investigations of BLM over whether it broke state law by deceiving donors and more.

Then just weeks ago, the foundation shut off its ability to raise funds amid legal threats from California and Washington over its lack of financial and operational transparency.

The Western Journal recently reported that the CharityWatch website recently was expressing alarm over BLM. The site warned, "It is extremely concerning that the national public charity entity of arguably the largest social justice movement in the United States has not done a better job of communicating its financial activities to the public in a timely manner or of adequately addressing other questions related to its governance."

The Daily Caller News Foundation reported the organization voluntarily shut down fundraising activities when officials in California and Washington threatened to hold the group's leaders personally liable for missing records.
