A federal grand jury has indicted the Southern Poverty Law Center on 11 counts, including wire and bank fraud, acting Attorney General Todd Blanche announced at a Tuesday evening press conference.

Earlier on Tuesday in the Middle District of Alabama, a grand jury returned an 11-count indictment charging the SPLC with six counts of wire fraud, four counts of bank fraud, and one count of conspiracy to commit money laundering, Blanche announced from the podium.
