Black Lives Matter has turned to Hillary Clinton’s
controversial campaign lawyer — the operative who commissioned the
notorious Steele Dossier — to sort out the non-profit’s questionable finances.
Newly released tax documents for Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation, Inc., reveal that Marc Elias, 53, came on board earlier this month.
On Feb. 11, Elias’ Washington-based election law firm filed 2020 tax documents for BLMGNF, which claim that the group received no donations or gave out any grants despite raking in more than $65 million that year.
In addition, BLMGNF changed its filing period from a calendar year to a fiscal year, meaning they only have to produce accounts for the first six months of 2020, and likely have another year to file their return for the remainder of 2020.
The accounting move did not sit well with charity critics and other activists who have been demanding more accountability from BLMGNF over its finances.
