EXCLUSIVE — A pair of US nonprofit groups tied to the Global Disinformation Index, a British entity covertly blacklisting conservative media, are being slapped with an IRS complaint for allegedly violating federal law.

The charity Disinformation Index Inc., and its affiliated private AN Foundation, also known as the Disinformation Index Foundation, cited an obscure federal"harassment" exemption law in providing the Washington Examiner in late March with heavily redacted copies of its 2021 tax forms.

But it remains unclear whether GDI has been approved by the government for the exemption, which tax experts say does not allow groups to redact their financial disclosures from public view. GDI has not replied to numerous Washington Examiner requests for a ruling on receiving the exemption it cited. NLPC is referring to the fact that the U.S. charity disclosed on 2021 federal disclosures paying its unnamed president, who, according to 2020 forms, is Rogers, almost $60,000, plus over $8,100 in additional compensation “from the organization and related organizations." However, the forms also say the president worked one hour per week, which, according to the watchdog, amounts to a whopping $1,300 per hour.

With regard to the tax form redactions, the NLPC called on the IRS to fine both the AN Foundation and Disinformation Index for not handing over an"exact copy" of their federal disclosures as filed with the IRS. Tax-exempt groups are supposed to provide the public with copies mirroring those provided to the federal government, according to the agency.
