BREAKING NEWS: Leonard Leo under probe in D.C., Politico reports
NORTHEAST HARBOR, Aug. 23, 2023 - Washington D.C. Attorney General Brian Schwalb is investigating judicial activist Leonard Leo and his network of nonprofit groups, according to a person with direct knowledge of the probe, POLITICO reported Tuesday.
The scope of the investigation is unclear. But it comes after POLITICO reported in March that one of Leo’s nonprofits — registered as a charity — paid his for-profit company tens of millions of dollars in the two years since he joined the company. A few weeks later, a progressive watchdog group filed a complaint with the D.C. attorney general and the IRS requesting a probe into what services were provided and whether Leo was in violation of laws against using charities for personal enrichment.
Leo is a summer resident here at 46 South Shore Road, the site of frequent protests since the overturn of the Roe V. Wade decision in June 2022.
Several readers alerted the QSJ to the Politico story.

ThankYou investigative journalists. It takes a lot of smarts, time, and courage to uncover and report on the facts folks like Leo are so effective at hiding and so resentful of having spotlighted.
