There was a whistleblower named Lori Saroya who was formally on the board of CAIR and a chapter executive. She sued CAIR and it exposed the inner workings of this system. After leaving the organization, Saroya blew the whistle on a toxic internal culture and explicitly alleged that the group was covertly accepting substantial foreign funding from overseas governments.
CAIR sued her to try to silence her, and then they eventually dropped the lawsuit. They did so because they realized there were legal risks. But the battle did not end there; she counter sued them for defamation over statements they made against her character. A federal judge granted Saroya a massive victory regarding legal discovery. 
The court ordered the organization to turn over the identities of every donor who gave $5,000 or more.
Records of any financial contributions or loans originating from Saudi Arabia, Qatar, or Kuwait. The Multi-Million Dollar Settlement was faced with a firm federal court order to unmask their secret donor lists and prove where their money came from so they chose to retreat.
In February 2025, rather than open their financial books to the public and expose their international funding apparatus, they settled the case out of court with Saroya. By settling, they successfully kept their donor registries and international transaction histories legally shielded from public disclosure.
Her case highlighted a massive loophole in U.S. nonprofit law. By utilizing massive, mainstream domestic financial intermediaries, organizations can easily channel global influence directly into local state chapters. Until federal disclosure laws for 501(c)(3) organizations change, the true origin of these millions will remain completely invisible to the communities they impact.

Seems very active for a judge.

Judge John McConnell just issued a sweeping ruling blocking Trump’s immigration and asylum policies.
This is the same judge AFL exposed for failing to recuse from the Trump spending freeze case — despite previously leading a nonprofit that received $128M in federal funding.
