US EditionRepublican Senator Calls for IRS Investigation Into CAIR’s Tax-Exempt Status
UNITED STATES, AUG 5 – Senator Cotton cites CAIR's alleged ties to Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood, urging IRS to review its financial records and revoke tax-exempt status if violations are found.
- Senator Tom Cotton is urging the Internal Revenue Service to investigate the Council on American-Islamic Relations for possible violations of its tax-exempt status, citing ties to terrorist organizations like Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood.
- Cotton's inquiry includes a reference to a federal case where CAIR was named as a co-conspirator in a major terrorism financing operation and emphasizes that tax-exempt status should not support groups linked to terrorism.
- CAIR responded to Cotton's demand by calling it 'debunked conspiracy theories' and reaffirmed its dedication to civil rights for American Muslims.
- Following the October 7 Hamas attacks, CAIR's executive director made controversial comments that led to the Biden administration severing ties with CAIR over concerns regarding antisemitism.
