My father raised me with Jewish observance. Shma at night, Kiddush on Friday night. But the earliest memories I have of reading a sacred text with my father aren't of Genesis, or the Exodus from Egypt, or even of my Bar Mitzvah parsha.

They're of reading the Declaration of Independence with him every July 4th.

He would read them aloud with the same musical, passionate voice that compelled the attention of listeners at state affairs or class day ceremonies. We were a small family of four, often in those early years with another family we were close to, but we felt like a jury listening to the case that he was making in the highest of courts.

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal!" he would insist, his eyes meeting ours -- and then pause, waiting to see if any of us would dare to challenge him. I didn't understand many of the specific accusations that the Founding Fathers were laying at Britain's feet, but I knew by the end that my father believed America had the protection of divine Providence, and that he pledged his life, fortune and honor to this country that had taken him in, that had given him a home when he was stateless.

To our fellow Americans, Shabbat Shalom and happy 250th anniversary of these blessed United States of America.

And for 11 years, the monsters in the tunnel knew they were hiding an IDF officer's body there. They knew they killed Hadar Goldin and snatched his body during a ceasefire. They knew that they were torturing his parents by keeping Hadar and denying his family a grave to visit.

🚨 BREAKING: DOJ opens grand jury investigation into Marxist tycoon Neville Roy Singham and alleged money laundering or other financial crimes from his base in China to funding far-left nonprofits in the U.S. and the world

WATCH how the money flows.
READ our @FoxNews Digital exclusive: https://t.co/EuXm7HOe76

What I've learned from people familiar with the investigation:

🚨 U.S. Attorney Jay Clayton for the Southern District of New York, one of the country's most powerful districts for federal prosecutions, has launched a federal grand jury investigation into American Marxist tycoon Neville Roy Singham's financial network, examining potential financial crimes including wire fraud, bank fraud and money laundering from his base in Shanghai, where he funds groups supporting the Chinese Communist Party.

🚨 Acting U.S. Attorney General Todd Blanche authorized the investigation as the Trump administration seeks to crack down on fraud, money laundering and other financial crimes in the multibillion-dollar nonprofit industry.

🚨 Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent traveled to New York City earlier this year for a meeting with Goldman Sachs Chairman and CEO David Solomon. The men discussed the role of a Goldman Sachs philanthropic arm — GS Donor Advised Philanthropy Fund For Wealth Management Inc. — that facilitated the movement by Singham of millions of dollars into a network of U.S. nonprofits. At that meeting, sources said, Bessent delivered a blunt ultimatum: Goldman Sachs could face scrutiny for alleged conspiracy in the funneling of the Singham money and urged Solomon to cooperate with federal investigators. Goldman Sachs is cooperating with the investigation.

🚨 Federal prosecutors are examining a financial structure that follows the three stages investigators often analyze in alleged money laundering: placement, layering and integration. Treasury, DOJ and Goldman Sachs declined to comment. Singham, his wife Jodie Evans -- also under investigation -- and the organizations in the Singham network didn't respond to numerous requests for comment.

STEP 1: ALLEGED PLACEMENT
According to the reporting, approximately $278 million entered the U.S. financial system through three entities:

🔴 Mutod LLC — $164,040,000
🔴 GS Donor Advised Philanthropy Fund for Wealth Management Inc. (Goldman Sachs) — $110,376,701
🔴 Likewise Conceptions LLC — $3,500,000

STEP 2: ALLEGED LAYERING
Those funds were then allegedly routed through six nonprofit organizations:

🔴 $167,540,000 to People's Support Foundation Ltd., a 501(c)(3) nonprofit established with a hotel address in 2017 in Chicago and Singham's wife, Evans, on the board.
🔴 $68,748,701 to Justice and Education Fund Inc., a 501(c)(3) established with a UPS Store address in 2018 in New York City with self-avowed communists, including Manola De Los Santos, on the board.
🔴 $22,440,000 to People's Forum Inc., a 501(c)(3) established in 2017 on W. 37th Street in New York City with Evans and De Los Santos on the board.
🔴 $16,760,000 to Tricontinental Ltd., a 501(c)(3) established in North Hampton, Mass., in 2017 by Singham friend and fellow Marxist ideologue Vijay Prashad.
🔴 $1,330,000 to CodePink Women For Peace, a 501(c)(3) established in 2009 in Marina Del Ray, Calif., by Singham's wife, Evans, and her friend, Susan Medea Benjamin.
🔴 $1,098,000 to Breakthrough BT Media Inc., a 501(c)(3) established in New York City in 2020 at the People's Forum headquarters with longtime American communist leader Brian Becker's son, Ben Becker, as editor-in-chief of its pro-communist propaganda outlet, Breakthrough News.

STEP 3: ALLEGED INTEGRATION

According to the reporting, those organizations then distributed funding and support into a broader activist network that included:
🔴 People's Welfare Association
🔴 ANSWER Coalition
🔴 Party for Socialism and Liberation
🔴 Numerous organizations operating across Sub-Saharan Africa, Central America, North America and other regions.

Federal prosecutors have issued grand jury subpoenas seeking bank records and financial documents as they determine whether criminal charges are warranted.

A grand jury investigation is an investigative process, not a finding of guilt.

For this reporting, I traced hundreds of financial transactions, nonprofit filings and corporate records documenting how money allegedly moved through this network. WATCH the money flow.

A dangerous misunderstanding about Islamic terrorism persists: that the infrastructure supporting these groups exists only overseas. The truth: money, messaging, & organizational networks have long operated in the US – and they continue to do so.

Before any Iran deal celebration — @gen_jackkeane's reality check this morning:
The Islamic regime's goal is to "survive, recover and rebuild," then reverse whatever they sign.
"That is who they are."
That does not change with any agreement.

I warned on @FoxNews with @johnrobertsFox that if Iran believed America was unwilling to respond, it would escalate. After attacking Kuwait’s airport and targeting US forces in Bahrain last week without paying a price, the regime is now attacking Israel. Without a response, Iran will escalate—and eventually kill or maim Americans.
