Heidi Beirich
Heidi Beirich is an expert on far-right groups who currently serves as the co-founder and Chief Strategy Officer of the Global Project Against Hate and Extremism.
She previously held roles at the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), including Director of Intelligence and, according to some reports, chief financial officer.
The Trump administration, through the Justice Department, has brought charges against her.
The conflict centers on allegations that Beirich misused donor funds to pay informants who infiltrated extremist groups, including a neo-Nazi organization.
Federal prosecutors have charged her with conspiracy to commit wire fraud, wire fraud, bank fraud, and money laundering, claiming she oversaw secret payments to informants.
Beirich's defenders may argue that these payments were legitimate operational expenses for monitoring hate groups, while the administration views them as fraudulent.
