Congresswoman Miller joined her colleagues in calling for more transparency, accountability, and oversight of foreign money flowing through U.S. nonprofits to ensure the American tax-exempt privilege is protected.
Increase transparency, accountability, and oversight of foreign money flowing through U.S. nonprofits to protect the tax-exempt sector and federal elections from foreign influence.
Occurrences
Evidence
Carol Miller said she participated in a Ways and Means Committee hearing focused on foreign actors exploiting the tax-exempt sector through U.S. nonprofits, and she called for more transparency, accountability, and oversight of foreign money flowing through nonprofits.
The Ways and Means Committee said reports of a DOJ grand-jury investigation into Neville Roy Singham aligned with the Committee's oversight of U.S.-based tax-exempt organizations, and said the Committee had demanded documentation about activities and financing streams from CCP-linked organizations.
The Committee stated it was examining whether tax-exempt legal standards adequately account for connections to foreign nationals and whether reform is needed so tax-exempt status is not used to facilitate or obscure foreign influence. The letters requested documents on foreign-linked funding, fiscal sponsorships, communications with foreign principals, foreign donors over $5,000, and foreign grant recipients.
The Committee said BreakThrough News, Tricontinental, and The People's Forum had until May 18, 2026 to comply with requests for information on funding sources and fiscal sponsorships, and warned they could face congressional subpoenas if they failed to comply.
The Ways and Means and Select Committee on China chairs called on Treasury and IRS officials to examine tax-exempt U.S.-based organizations with CCP ties, alleging some 501(c) groups were being used to manipulate democratic institutions and support CCP interests.
The Committee said it was investigating money trails between foreign actors and tax-exempt organizations, including referrals of eleven tax-exempt organizations to IRS for possible investigation or revocation. The page also records Rep. Carol Miller questioning a witness about foreign nationals using 501(c)(4)s to fund Super PACs without donor disclosure.
Miller's official press-release index states that she participated in a Ways and Means hearing on foreign actors exploiting the tax-exempt sector by funneling millions to U.S. nonprofits, and that she called for more transparency, accountability, and oversight of foreign money flowing through U.S. nonprofits.
Assessments
Miller is directly tied to same-term oversight activity through a Ways and Means hearing, questioning on foreign money through nonprofits and Super PACs, and public calls for more transparency, accountability, and oversight. The committee also pursued document requests, subpoena warnings, and IRS/Treasury referrals on foreign-linked tax-exempt organizations. However, the record does not show enacted legislation, binding agency rules, completed enforcement outcomes, or implemented election-protection safeguards. This merits partial credit for materially advancing oversight, not full delivery.
The available evidence shows Miller took a concrete oversight step by participating in a Ways and Means Committee hearing on foreign influence in U.S. nonprofits and publicly calling for greater transparency and accountability. That materially advances the issue within her federal office role, but it does not show that she achieved the promised outcome of increased transparency, oversight, or protective safeguards through enacted law, binding policy, or implemented enforcement changes. Because the record reflects meaningful action but not completed delivery, partial credit is the best fit.
