WASHINGTON — A powerful House panel subpoenaed three far-left nonprofits Wednesday as part of a sweeping review of Shanghai-based Marxist millionaire Neville Roy Singham’s network of subversive groups in the US.
The House Ways and Means Committee is probing $39 million disbursed from Roy to the People’s Forum, lefty media outlet BreakThrough News, and Tricontinental Institute for Social Research.
Chairman Jason Smith (R-Mo.) ripped the three groups for failing to cough up a “single responsive document” in response to the committee’s prior requests for information.
Smith’s team is concerned about the network’s potential roles in money laundering, amplifying Communist propaganda, and pushing political violence.
“Your responses have failed to include a single responsive document and misrepresented both the scope and purpose of the Committee’s oversight,” Smith wrote to each subpoena target. “Accordingly, the Committee is invoking compulsory process to obtain the requested materials.”
