The House committee said its investigation into the alleged misuse of funds is still ongoing and that they have since reached out to other groups.
The House Judiciary Committee on Thursday released a memo that accused the previous Biden-Harris administration of misusing taxpayer funds that allegedly ended up going to Israeli organizations that oppose Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and to terrorist groups.
Six U.S. and Israeli Non-Governmental Organizations (NGO) provided the committee with 380 documents related to funding that was allegedly disbursed by the Biden administration's United States Agency for International Development (USAID), the State Department and other federal agencies.
"The Committee’s oversight has revealed that the Biden-Harris Administration provided grant funds to groups that contributed directly and indirectly to the judicial reform protests that sought to undermine the Israeli government," the memo reads. "In addition, documents obtained during this investigation suggest that the Biden-Harris Administration potentially funded groups with ties to U.S.-designated terrorist organizations."
The committee said one Israeli NGO received funding from U.S. grant recipients to fund a coalition headquarters for the anti-Netanyahu judicial reform protest, and that the Biden administration provided $42,000 to another Israeli NGO to conduct "Civic Activism Training" in Israeli high schools.
The committee also accused several U.S. nonprofits of using millions of dollars of grant money from the federal government to fund anti-democracy and anti-Netanyahu protests in Israel.
The House committee said its investigation into the alleged misuse of funds is still ongoing and that they have since reached out to other groups that could be involved in undermining the Israeli government.
