A superseding indictment filed by the Department of Justice accuses the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) of funneling donor funds to a white supremacist informant, who was also allegedly the SPLC employee's lover. The indictment specifically names former SPLC Director Heidi Beirich and alleges that she used donor money—up to $140,000 between 2015 and 2021—to fund joint living expenses with an informant in the National Alliance group. Furthermore, the document claims Beirich wrote an article based on materials stolen from the National Alliance headquarters.
