Court Orders Anti-Israel Group to Disclose Donor Information

On July 16, the anti-Israel organization, American Muslims for Palestine (AMP), was forced to disclose its donors by a court order, at the request of Virginia Attorney General Jason Miyares.

Jonathan Schanzer, the senior vice president for research at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, said that AMP has come under suspicion of receiving foreign funds, telling Jewish Insider that “[t]he scrutiny into AMP continues to grow.”

“There is intense interest in learning whether there are foreign funds,” Schanzer added. “At some point, one gets the sense that AMP will have to begin to comply with these requests. It does seem like a question of when.”

The attorney general has been trying to access AMP’s donor records since October. With the recent court order, law enforcement will have access to the information they need to determine if AMP has met the state’s financial requirements.

“Under Virginia law, the Office of the Attorney General has the jurisdiction to investigate possible violations of the Commonwealth’s charitable registration and solicitation laws,” a press release from the AG’s office explains.
