Top members of Congress are supporting a federal grand jury investigation into alleged financial crimes committed by Neville Roy Singham, tied to his funding of socialist, communist, and Marxist organizations.
According to a recent investigation, Singham has funneled $278 million into the broad network of nonprofits since 2017. Acting U.S. Attorney General Todd Blanche authorized a grand jury in Manhattan to issue subpoenas as part of a probe of Singham's financial network.
U.S. Attorney Jay Clayton for the Southern District of New York, one of the country's most powerful districts for federal prosecutions, launched the investigation. Singham hasn't responded to repeated requests for comment.
Sen. Jim Banks, R-Indiana, labeled Singham a "traitor to our country" due to his ties to the Chinese Communist Party. Banks called on former Attorney General Pam Bondi to investigate CodePink, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit co-founded by Singham's wife, Jodie Evans.
CodePink hasn't responded to repeated requests for comment. Neither has Evans. Earlier this year, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent gave a blunt ultimatum to Goldman Sachs Chairman and CEO David Solomon: cooperate with federal investigators or face scrutiny for alleged conspiracy.
Goldman Sachs has agreed to pledge its cooperation with the Justice Department investigation. The Indiana senator explained that Goldman's cooperation is welcome news, but that Wall Street should be more cautious about working with individuals tied to "our biggest enemy."
Banks serves on the Senate Banking Committee, which is responsible for bank oversight and regulation. He raised concerns about CodePink potentially violating the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA), which requires individuals or entities acting as agents of foreign principals to register as foreign agents and publicly disclose their finances and relationships.
CodePink has not registered with the DOJ. A number of lawmakers weighed in on news of the DOJ's recent grand jury probe of Singham's finances, including Rep. Pat Fallon (R-Texas), who is running for chairman of the House Oversight Committee.
Fallon said holding accountable nonprofits aligned with the CCP and tied to Singham would be one of his priorities if he secured the chairmanship. House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Jason Smith, R-Mo., who launched an investigation into the Singham nonprofit network last year, took to social media to say the grand jury investigation is overdue.
For years, critics have alleged that Singham has used the generous tax status awarded to tax-exempt nonprofit organizations to fund left-wing chaos in streets across the country. A Fox News Digital investigation uncovered a video that showed Singham calling for a "new world order' promoted by Chinese President Xi Jinping and the Chinese Communist Party during the "Global South Academic Forum," in Beijing last year.
Singham has funneled millions into a network of nonprofits that regularly mobilize agitators for demonstrations across the country, including anti-ICE protests and anti-Israel protests. His financial contributions include an estimated $22.44 million to People's Forum Inc., a hub for far-left activity in Manhattan.
