ALBANY, N.Y. (NEXSTAR) — U.S. Congressmember Elise Stefanik of New York wants the U.S. Department of the Treasury to investigate the Council on American-Islamic Relations for possible sanctions violations or financial links to Hamas, a U.S.-designated terrorist organization. CAIR, the nation’s largest Muslim civil rights and advocacy organization, called a letter that Stefanik wrote to the Treasury an attempt to trigger a “McCarthy-era witch hunt.”
U.S. House Republican Leadership Chair Stefanik and Senate Republican Conference Chair Tom Cotton wrote to Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent on Tuesday. They asked him to “immediately investigate whether CAIR maintains financial links to Hamas that constitute violation of U.S. sanctions on Hamas.” READ MORE AT .
