House Republicans Jordan and Roy demand Antifa documents from nonprofits

First on Fox — Chairman of the Judicial Committee of the House of Representatives Jim JordanOhio Republicans and Constitution Subcommittee Chairman Chip Roy, R-Texas, are demanding nonprofit liberal advocacy groups turn over documents related to alleged support for Antifa as the Trump administration continues to crack down on left-wing extremists.

In the letters, obtained by Fox News Digital, Republican lawmakers called on the Alliance for Global Justice (AFGJ) and the Open Society Foundations to provide communications, financial records and internal policies related to nonprofits associated with Antifa, and other groups associated with the Antifa movement, which President Donald Trump designated a domestic terrorist organization this year.

The letter cites public reports that AFGJ “serves as a financial sponsor for Antifa groups” and cites donations to Refuse Fascism, a group that was recently in attendance in Washington, D.C., in protest on the one-year anniversary of Trump’s election. The Associated Press reported.

“Antifa’s far-left extremist violence cannot be justified,” the letter said. “AFGJ is directly responsible for the activities conducted by its projects as well as the use of funds raised on behalf of those projects.”

The Reject Fascism Leadership Council referred to what was stated by Fox News Digital a task Online, along with the Internet page Outline their principles.

“Sonsara Taylor, along with all other leaders in the Refuse Fascism movement, has advocated only nonviolent means to advance the mission of RefuseFascism.org,” the council said.

In addition to rejecting fascism, lawmakers expressed concern about AFGJ’s sponsorship of Samidoun, which the Treasury Department described as a “sham charity” for the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, a U.S.-designated terrorist organization.

The $250,000 contribution is earmarked to “galvanize Black communities in the global movement for climate justice.”

In the letter to the Open Society Foundations, the committee wrote: “According to a recent report from the Capital Research Center, since 2016, the Open Society Foundations has donated more than $80 million to extremist organizations that support or engage in terrorism or other acts of extremist violence.”

“Particularly troubling, OSF donated at least $2 million to the Sunrise Movement, a group closely linked to Antifa. According to a Capital Research Center report, the Sunrise Movement “endorsed and solicited financial support for Antifa-linked anarchist terrorists in the Stop Cop City/Defend the Atlanta Forest coalition” who in 2023 violently attacked law enforcement officers and utility workers who built a training facility near Atlanta, Georgia for police officers and firefighters. After the siege, he dropped Antifa terrorists threw Molotov cocktails, bricks and rocks at law enforcement officers, attempted to blind officers by shining lasers into their eyes, and set fire to construction equipment and a police car, among many other acts of violence in which prosecutors later charged more than one individual with domestic terrorism over the attacks.

AFGJ’s alleged ties to the anti-Israel protests that erupted across college campuses after the Oct. 7 Hamas terror attack were troubling enough to prompt Republican House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Jason Smith to call last month for the IRS to revoke its tax-exempt status.

“In light of the anniversary of the October 2023 violent attack on Israel, coupled with recent political violence and ongoing subversive activities of previously identified organizations that have been sowing chaos in the United States and have ties to designated foreign terrorist groups, it is imperative that action be taken to ensure that tax-exempt groups operate within the purpose of their tax exemption.” He said at the time.

Fox News Digital has reached out to AFGJ and the Open Society Foundations for comment.

The letter orders AFGJ and the Open Society Foundations to preserve and turn over internal records dating back to January 1, 2017, including financial sponsorship arrangements, grants, donations, and documents that would show internal awareness of criminal activity by groups in their network.

These claims echo the leftist narrative of 2020, when Democrats and liberals argued that Antifa did not exist as cities saw repeated nights of violent protests and riots following the killing of George Floyd while in police custody.

For example, New York Democratic Rep. Jerry Nadler called Antifa a “myth” when talking about the 2020 violence in July of that year, The Washington Times reported. Joy Behar of “The View” dismissed the Antifa movement as “Fake idea“In 2021, adding that it is “something that does not even exist.”

These lunatics have violently breached the facility by using a stop sign as a hammer, throwing explosives and other projectiles, burning the American flag, repeatedly assaulting officers, attacking and wounding officers with pepper spray, rocks, bricks, and trash, insulting officers, berating neighbors, and even guillotineing officers.” September 30.

The White House recently doubled down on the fact that Antifa is “An extremist terrorist organization “Which has been wreaking havoc and committing acts of violence in American communities for a very long time,” when asked about the left’s downplaying of the group’s existence.
