"It has been reported that Mr. Singham is ‘the main backer behind’ the Party for Socialism and Liberation (PSL), which has organized nationwide protests, including the Los Angeles riots," GOP Oversight members wrote in a letter to Singham. "He has created an elaborate dark money network which allows him to send funds to a series of non-profits, such as the ‘United Community Fund’ and ‘Justice Education Fund,’ that have almost no real footprints."
Singham denied the allegations set forth by the New York Times in a 2023 statement, saying, "The [New York Times] intentionally chose not to publish all the factual rebuttals that I provided to them on July 22, 2023, prior to their publication date."
"The [New York Times] has done a great disservice to the cause to press freedom," Singham added. "I categorically deny and repudiate all claims of illegality and impropriety and wish to set the record straight."
Fox News Digital reached out to Mr. Singham for comment but did not receive a response in time for publication.
