WASHINGTON (VINnews) — Republicans on the House Judiciary Committee say a new investigation has uncovered financial links between federal grants awarded during the Biden administration and nonprofit groups that supported anti-government protests in Israel or had ties to organizations accused of supporting terrorism, according to a report by JNS.

In a memorandum distributed to committee members Friday, Republicans alleged that funding from agencies including the U.S. Agency for International Development and the State Department reached organizations that later supported protests against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu or provided funding to groups with alleged terrorist connections.

House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan said the findings raise questions about oversight of taxpayer-funded grants. The committee said some grants were awarded for unrelated international development programs but argued the funding may have enabled recipient organizations to support political activism elsewhere.

The memorandum cites several nonprofit organizations and alleges that some funds ultimately reached groups linked to anti-Israel activism or organizations designated by Israel or the United States as having ties to terrorist groups. The committee did not allege that Biden administration officials knowingly directed money to terrorist organizations.

Republicans said they plan to continue oversight efforts aimed at preventing federal funds from being used in ways they say could undermine U.S. allies or benefit organizations linked to extremism.
