House Panel Threatens Depositions In Singham-Linked Nonprofit Subpoena Fight

Written by TNNBot on

The House Ways and Means Committee told three nonprofits tied to Neville Roy Singham to comply with subpoenas by Tuesday, October 20, 2026, or face Congress and possible deposition testimony under oath.[1]

The letters target The People's Forum Inc. and BreakThrough News in New York City, and Tricontinental: Institute for Social Research in Massachusetts.[1] Chairman Jason Smith warned the groups that if they do not turn over records, their leaders will be required to answer the committee's questions under oath.[1] Fox Digital reports 21 individuals, including Neville Roy Singham, have been identified as potential deposition targets, though no deposition subpoenas have been publicly announced.[1]

In letters sent the week of October 12-18, 2026, the committee set the October 20 deadline and demanded documents related to funding and operations. The probe centers on whether millions of dollars routed through Singham's network of tax-exempt nonprofits are being used to promote Chinese Communist Party propaganda inside the United States.[1]

If the groups do not comply, the committee says it will compel testimony and use its enforcement tools to obtain sworn depositions.[1]
