The Republican-led House Oversight and Education Committees have called on the Treasury Department to reveal any suspicious financial activity involving nearly two dozen groups involved in ongoing protests on college campuses over the war in the Gaza Strip.

“The Committees are investigating the sources of funding and financing for groups who are organizing, leading, and participating in pro-Hamas, antisemitic, anti-Israel, and anti-American protests with illegal encampments on American college campuses,” Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) and Education Committee Chairwoman Virginia Foxx (R-N.C.) wrote in a May 14 letter to Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen.
