House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Michael McCaul is also threatening to subpoena the State Department over the grant.
The House Foreign Affairs Committee has subpoenaed a group over not handing over documents to the GOP-led committee related to a $500,000 grant it received from the State Department to promote atheism abroad.
The committee’s chairman, Rep. Michael McCaul (R-Texas), announced the subpoena on Aug. 8, citing the group, Humanists International, for not being transparent with Congress.
The Epoch Times has reached out to Humanists International and the State Department for comment about the subpoena.
The committee had given the State Department until Aug. 6 to produce documentation of correspondence between the department and Humanists International.
Humanist International, according to its website, “is the global representative body at the heart of the humanist movement.”
The State Department, like most government entities, gets its funding from Congress.
