Capital Research Center Appears To Do Damage Control After Being Caught Red-Handed Aiding Trump's War on Nonprofits

After Capital Research Center president Scott Walter published a Wall Street Journal op-ed, the Congressional Integrity Project argued he was downplaying CRC's role in supporting the Trump administration's actions against nonprofits — and laid out the record.

Key claims

  • A Capital Research Center report has been used by the Trump Justice Department to scrutinize progressive organizations.
  • CRC's president personally briefed the administration on ActBlue and Democratic donors.
  • The piece characterizes CRC's claims as reckless and baseless.

Trump's FBI Built a Pre-Crime Center. The Targets Are People Who Disagree With Him.

The Congressional Integrity Project documents how a new FBI unit uses vague criteria — “anti-capitalism,” “extremism on migration, race, and gender” — to target political opponents. It is the enforcement end of the machine that research from groups like Capital Research Center helps feed.

Key claims

  • The FBI unit relies on broad, ideology-based criteria rather than concrete threats.
  • The criteria echo the framing advanced in conservative watchdog research.
  • The result is government scrutiny aimed at dissent and civil society.
