BreakThrough News Denounces House Subpoena in $39 Million Singham Probe

Summary
Rania Khalek used a Democracy Now! interview to cast the House Ways and Means subpoena of BreakThrough News as a McCarthy-style attack on free speech and independent journalism.
The committee says the inquiry targets BreakThrough News' financing and organizational structure—not its viewpoints—as part of a probe into alleged foreign influence and roughly $39 million tied to Neville Roy Singham's network.
BreakThrough News is one of three groups subpoenaed after failing to produce requested documents; investigators are seeking internal communications and financial records linked to the Singham network.
Khalek did not address the committee's financial questions, instead urging viewers to support BreakThrough News and warning that Democracy Now! could be targeted next, though it is not part of the House probe.
The dispute sits within a wider scrutiny of Singham's funding empire: Fox previously reported $1.1 million went to BreakThrough's parent, and federal prosecutors in New York have separately opened a grand jury investigation.
