Missouri’s Attorney General is requesting records in a formal investigation he has launched.

Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey is investigating a progressive-leaning nonprofit organization for alleged fraudulent solicitation of donations from Missourians on the social media site X. In a letter to Missouri Matters for America, 

Bailey accuses the firm of violating Missouri’s consumer protection laws, including laws that prevent nonprofits from soliciting funds under false pretenses. 

A federal lawsuit has been filed against Media Matters for publishing a report that convinced advertisers to pull their ads from the site formerly known as Twitter. 

Media Matters has called the lawsuit by X “frivolous” and has said it stands by its work.
