- The Case Against SPLC Traces Straight Back to Stephen Miller's Grudge
- Description
- An FBI document turned over during discovery in the DOJ's fraud case against the Southern Poverty Law Center reads almost word-for-word like a private complaint letter sent directly to Stephen Miller — six passages match closely enough to be nearly identical. Miller has held a personal grudge against SPLC since 2019, when the group published his emails promoting white nationalist content, and vowed after Charlie Kirk's assassination to use "every resource" at DOJ to target groups like it. SPLC's lawyers are now asking a federal judge to force the disclosure of Miller's communications with prosecutors. This is what it looks like when a federal prosecution exists to settle one official's personal score, dressed up in an eleven-count indictment.
