WASHINGTON — The embattled Southern Poverty Law Center’s CEO, Bryan Fair, appeared Tuesday before the House Judiciary Committee for a grilling over Justice Department allegations that the ostensibly anti-racism group secretly funded the extremism it claims to oppose. Fair broadly defended the center while declining to answer for specific alleged wrongdoing — after the DOJ in April filed fraud and conspiracy charges alleging millions in donor funds flowed to hate groups, including the Ku Klux Klan, Aryan Nations, and National Socialist Party of America. “All the allegations in the indictment will be addressed in the Middle District of Alabama,” Fair said repeatedly throughout nearly four hours of testimony — as prominent defense attorney Abbe Lowell sat behind him to provide support.
