IRS urged to probe tax-exempt groups supporting anti-Israel protests
Fox News
Several Republicans signed onto a letter calling for a number of groups to have their tax-exempt statuses investigated over their support for anti-Israel protests.
American Muslims for Palestine (AMP), a 501(c)(3) that is fiscally sponsored by AJP, denied any "corporate relationship with any student groups. AMP does not direct the activities of any student groups. AMP is not the fiscal sponsor of any student groups." However, a legal representative for AMP told Fox News Digital that it does "issue small dollar grants, averaging just under $500 apiece, for costs associated with already-planned events that will further AMP's educational mission."

"AMP has been scrutinized before and has every confidence that it will once again be able to show that it operates legally, for legal and constitutionally protected purposes, within the United States," the representative said.

"AMP also supports the rights of any Americans to exercise their First Amendment protection of freedom of assembly, freedom of speech and freedom of association with their peers," they added.
