The powerful House Ways and Means Committee has subpoenaed three left-wing nonprofits in an investigation into more than $39 million that flowed from Marxist tech tycoon Neville Roy Singham to the groups. The committee, led by Chairman Jason Smith, R-Mo., issued the subpoenas to the People’s Forum Inc., a New York-based activist hub; BreakThrough News, a left-wing nonprofit media outlet; and Tricontinental: Institute for Social Research, which says its work is anchored in “national liberation Marxism.”
Investigation Background
The legislative action emerges as far-left nonprofits face growing scrutiny from law enforcement agencies, policymakers, and federal agencies for their alleged roles in promoting communist propaganda, engaging in money laundering schemes, and fomenting discord and even political violence. The panel said it is investigating whether existing laws governing tax-exempt organizations adequately protect against foreign influence — and whether Congress needs to change those laws.
The committee first sought records from the People’s Forum in September 2025 and from BreakThrough News and Tricontinental in February. After attorneys for the organizations refused to comply, the panel issued narrower requests on May 4. The committee asked for records about foreign-linked funding and projects whose finances the groups managed.
Subpoenas and Next Steps
The subpoenas require the groups to turn over the requested materials by Aug. 7. Chairman Jason Smith told Fox News Digital that the subpoenas would help expose whether America’s tax laws and charitable sector “have been exploited to advance the CCP’s influence operations inside the United States.”
