Treasury Department Confirms Turning Point USA Not Under Investigation Amid Social Media Allegations
The U.S. Department of the Treasury has clarified that Turning Point USA, a conservative organization led by Erika Kirk, is not under investigation, countering recent social media rumors. This clarification came in response to a request from Kirk, who sought to address allegations of financial impropriety within the organization. The rumors, which were amplified by figures such as podcaster Candace Owens, led some donors to request refunds. The Treasury's letter confirmed that none of the four tax-exempt entities associated with Turning Point USA are being examined by the IRS, and all have submitted their required tax forms on time. The organization, co-founded by Kirk's late husband Charlie Kirk, has been a significant player in conservative circles, with President Trump publicly supporting it. The organization recently held a successful fundraising event at Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort.
