  • President Donald Trump’s administration obtained a criminal indictment last ​week charging SPLC with defrauding its own donors by ​using paid informants to infiltrate far-right organizations.
  • SPLC is a ⁠civil rights group that tracks political extremists. It condemned ​last week’s charges as “false allegations.”
  • “We respectfully request your testimony at ​a hearing of the Committee on the Judiciary on May 20, 2026,” U.S. Representative Jim Jordan from Trump’s Republican Party said in a ​letter to Bryan Fair, SPLC’s interim president and CEO.
  • Many rights ​advocates have raised alarm over what they call the Trump administration’s crackdown ‌on ⁠civil rights groups and voices of dissent.
  • The 55-year-old law center had long shared information it collected with the FBI and other law enforcement groups before the Trump administration cut ties ​with the ​SPLC six months ⁠ago.
  • The congressional hearing will examine the role that SPLC “has played in distorting federal civil rights ​policy in recent years,” Jordan said in ​his letter ⁠on Tuesday.
  • Jordan claimed SPLC’s reports on hate in the U.S. included a “highly partisan understanding of ‘hate’” against conservatives.
  • SPLC says its program ⁠of paid ​informants has “saved lives” and was not ​a secret to the federal government.
  • The FBI also uses paid informants in its ​investigations.
