(NY Post) A powerful House panel asked the IRS Tuesday to revoke the tax-exempt status of nine nonprofits that sowed “chaos and discord” during anti-Israel protests on college campuses, according to letters exclusively obtained by the Post.
House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Jason Smith (R-Mo.) wrote to IRS Commissioner Daniel Werfel to share his panel’s findings on the “illegal activities” committed by the organizations, which had no discernible charitable purpose.
The law-breaking included the promotion of civil disobedience and in some cases may have involved fiscal sponsorship of foreign terror groups.
Two of the nonprofits — Westchester Peace Action Committee Foundation (WESPAC) and the People’s Forum — were New York-based, while the other seven were headquartered in Virginia, Texas and California.
