White House Weighs Executive Order Branding Nonprofits as Terror Supporters
Washington, DC — The Congressional Integrity Project sent a letter today urging Oversight Ranking Member Robert Garcia, Judiciary Ranking Member Jamie Raskin, and House Administration Ranking Member Joe Morelle to make the Capital Research Center (CRC) an early joint oversight priority in the next Congress. The letter was first reported by Politico Influence.
“Capital Research Center has been force feeding the Trump administration targets for almost two years despite admitting their own evidence doesn’t support prosecution,” said CIP Senior Advisor Jack Miller. “As the White House prepares to label some nonprofits terrorist supporters with zero due process, Congress deserves to know if this designation is backed by real evidence or more slop from CRC.”
The CIP letter comes days after The Wall Street Journal reported the White House is weighing an executive order to label nonprofits as terrorist supporters and strip their tax exemptions immediately, with no IRS investigation and no appeal. As a tax-exempt charity, CRC has spent nearly two years briefing the White House, the Justice Department, Treasury, and OMB on nonprofits it opposes. CRC president Scott Walter has said administration officials regularly text and email him asking for briefings.
In September 2025, CRC published a report accusing George Soros’s Open Society Foundations of funding terror. Five days later, the Justice Department cited the report in directing prosecutors to plan a criminal investigation. However, in October 2025, Walter then admitted the report contained no evidence that could support a prosecution, despite pressing the administration to do so.
