A conservative watchdog group filed three complaints against organizations founded and operated by Media Matters founder David Brock.
The Patriots Foundation accused Brocks nonprofit group American Bridge Foundation of violating IRS rules by transferring $2.7 million in tax-exempt assets to a for-profit media company owned by Brock.
Were calling on the IRS to conduct a thorough investigation of Brocks organizations and to hold them accountable for all violations, Patriots Foundation president Craig Robinson said in a statement.
Media Matters for America founder David Brock reaped illegal profits through the transfer of millions from a nonprofit he founded to a for-profit entity under his control, according to an IRS complaint filed by a conservative watchdog group.
The complaint detailed how Brocks nonprofit group American Bridge Foundation (AB Foundation) transferred $2.7 million in tax-exempt assets to True Blue Media, a for-profit company owned by Brock that is the parent company of ShareBlue, a for-profit media company now known as The American Independent. The transfers violated IRS rules that prohibit nonprofit organizations from using their tax-exempt resources to pay personal or private expenses of any key figures connected to the nonprofit, the complaint stated.
AB Foundations transfers to True Blue Media were disclosed in the nonprofits Form 990s filed to the IRS in 2017 and 2018.
AB Foundations sister super PAC, AB PAC, announced plans in March to spend $50 million on ads targeting President Donald Trump. AB PAC also reportedly brokered an alliance in March with another super PAC, Unite the Country, which supports former Vice President Joe Bidens presidential bid.
