The House Judiciary Committee released a memo on May 29 detailing what it describes as a continued pattern of the Biden-Harris Administration’s neglect and misuse of taxpayer dollars through the U.S. Agency for International Development, the State Department, and other federal agencies to fund anti-Netanyahu organizations and groups with alleged ties to terrorism.

According to the committee, there is evidence that U.S. nonprofits may be violating section 501(c)(3) provisions by funding radical anti-Israel groups and protests against the Israeli government. The committee previously released a memo in July 2025 stating that administration grant funds were provided to organizations contributing directly and indirectly to judicial reform protests in Israel.

Key findings outlined in the new memo include nearly $4 million from the Rockefeller Brothers Fund to radical, anti-Israel groups; over $1 million from USAID grantee Tides Network to similar organizations; possible violations of tax-exempt status by Jewish Communal Fund, Rockefeller Philanthropy Advisors, and PEF Israel Endowment Funds; lack of cooperation from Israeli nonprofit Movement for Quality Government regarding its funding activities; and an audit showing Abraham Initiatives failed to comply with anti-terrorism procedures.

“The Committee will continue to work to prevent the misuse of federal grant funds to interfere in the political affairs of foreign countries,” according to its statement accompanying release of the memo.

The House Judiciary Committee focuses on administering justice in federal courts, overseeing key departments such as Justice and Homeland Security, addressing legislation related to civil liberties and immigration, playing a role in impeachment proceedings, reviewing constitutional amendments, operating within legislative oversight for justice matters, and was established as one of Congress’s oldest standing committees on June 3, 1813, according to its official website.
