Treasury Secretary Bessent warns leftist nonprofits of prosecution and asset seizures for illegal activities

Summary

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has warned that leftist nonprofits engaged in illegal activities such as fraud, violence, improper political activity, foreign collusion, or terrorism could face criminal prosecution of their officers and trustees, as well as asset forfeiture — penalties far beyond losing tax-exempt status. In an interview on Just the News, No Noise, Bessent emphasized that nonprofit status is a privilege, not a right. The crackdown follows President Donald Trump's executive order directing federal agencies to more aggressively police tax-exempt organizations, which have expanded significantly beyond traditional charitable missions.
