EXCLUSIVE — Rep. Ken Buck is demanding answers from one of the leaders of the Global Disinformation Index, a British entity blacklisting conservative media outlets, after the Washington Examiner revealed that its two affiliated U.S. nonprofit groups are hiding key information about their operations from the public.

GDI has come under fire following a Washington Examiner report on Feb. 9 that detailed its secret operation feeding blacklists of conservative websites to advertisers with the intent of shutting down disfavored speech.

The charity, which hauled in $1.1 million in revenue in 2021, and the private foundation, which posted $367,000 in revenue that year, also redacted who prepared their tax forms and who their books are in the care of. A lawyer for GDI claimed in an April 6 letter to the Washington Examiner that both GDI groups are"withholding" details from their disclosures due to federal laws on"harassment" campaigns against tax-exempt entities.

It's unclear whether the IRS has formally approved the GDI groups for the exemption. A spokesperson for the agency previously told the Washington Examiner that it cannot comment on"specific taxpayer situations" and"does not issue rulings through the media about matters of tax law."
