Treasury Dept. tells Erika Kirk Turning Point USA not under investigation, following social media rumors
CBS News ^ | December 9, 2025 | Jennifer Jacobs

The Treasury Department sent a letter last week to conservative influencer Erika Kirk with findings that contradict fraud allegations about the finances at Turning Point USA and could help her refute those claims, sources told CBS News.

Questions were being raised on social media about the finances at Kirk's organization, Turning Point USA, and podcaster Candace Owens and others were urging donors to demand refunds. That led a few of its small-dollar donors to ask for their money back, one of the sources said. Erika Kirk runs the nationwide conservative college student organization co-founded by her late husband, Charlie Kirk.

Last week, Blake Neff, a producer on "The Charlie Kirk Show" podcast disputed "claims of financial impropriety and fraud at Turning Point adding up into the millions of dollars — which, again, is not true."

"Charlie made sure the organization was audited by a third party every year," Neff said. "He personally reviewed, and he signed off on every expense report and literally every single bill paid by the organization — down to a single United States dollar. We have never missed a 990 deadline." Form 990 is the federal tax form completed by tax-exempt organizations like Turning Point USA.

The letter from the Treasury Department was written in response to a request for information from Erika Kirk last Wednesday.

I don’t see any bad intent. There are rumors going around that she & TPUSA are under investigation. She ASKED if they were & received a response.

“Owens is irrelevant.”

If only. Doesn’t she have something like 10 million followers in her Cult Of Crazy? That’s dangerous.

Owens is making wild charges.

The guy in the link is studying financial statements.

Big difference.
