(Daily Caller) The Department of Justice (DOJ) is investigating whether a Muslim advocacy organization it previously linked to Hamas should maintain eligibility to receive taxpayer funds, according to emails obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation.
The DOJ’s Executive Office for Immigration Review said June 30 that it was currently probing a complaint accusing the California chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) of irregularities in its financial reporting and support for terrorism. The review centers around federal funding California has allocated for immigration-related services to CAIR, a group that high-profile Democrats have embraced for years as a force for civil rights.
“We appreciate your patience as we thoroughly review the matter,” the DOJ wrote to watchdog group Intelligent Advocacy Network (IAN), which filed the complaint on March 13. “Should we require additional information, we will reach out to you.”
