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.</p><p><a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2023/08/22/d-c-attorney-general-is-probing-leonard-leos-network-00112331" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">politico.com/news/2023/08/22/d</span><span class="invisible">-c-attorney-general-is-probing-leonard-leos-network-00112331</span></a></p><p>Leo is also the co-chair of the <a href="https://c.im/tags/Federalist" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Federalist</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Society" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Society</span></a>, the academic arm of the conservative legal movement, for which he worked in various capacities for decades while building his donor base.</p><p>Real estate and other public records illustrate that the lifestyle of Leo and a handful of his allies took a lavish turn in the course of the making of the current ultraconservative court, beginning in 2016, the year he was tapped as an unpaid adviser to Trump. Citing the report, a progressive watchdog group called on the IRS and D.C. Attorney General a few weeks later to investigate whether the groups may be violating their tax-exempt status by “siphoning” assets or income for personal use.</p><p>POLITICO reported that a total of $43 million flowed to Leo’s company over two years and that the bulk of it came from The <a href="https://c.im/tags/85Fund" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>85Fund</span></a>, a nonprofit run by his allies which has spent tens of millions of dollars over the past decade to promote Trump’s Supreme Court picks, file briefs before the court and, more recently, used an alias to push for voting restrictions and accuse Democrats of cheating in the 2020 election.</p>
