America First Legal

Stephen Miller's litigation arm, and the $27.1M gift that dwarfs its own reported revenue.

America First Legal (AFL, EIN 86-2190372) is Stephen Miller's post-administration litigation vehicle. The Bradley Foundation reported a single $27.1M gift to AFL in 2022, nearly 3x AFL's own reported 2023 revenue ($9.6M), a discrepancy that suggests money flowed through additional vehicles. AFL was also named in Jack Smith's Arctic Frost grand-jury subpoenas as part of the CPI infrastructure.

The investigation

The litigation division

AFL occupies the 'courtroom' layer of the conservative machine: where CPI provides personnel and Marble Freedom Trust provides money, AFL turns dark money into litigation. It was founded by Stephen Miller after the first Trump administration.

The 3x revenue discrepancy

The Bradley Foundation's 2022 990-PF reports a $27.1M single-grantee gift to AFL, while AFL's own 2023 990 reports $9.6M in total revenue. A 3x gap is a strong forensic signal that the real money flow exceeds the visible 990, plausibly routed via Bradley Impact Fund or an AFL-related entity.

Inside the Arctic Frost pool

America First Legal Foundation was directly named in Jack Smith's Arctic Frost subpoenas (GJ342, GJ343), and a Paychex payroll subpoena grouped 'AFL Foundation' with CPI, CRA, and Compass Legal Services as one shared payroll system, federal prosecutors treating them as a single integrated infrastructure. Stephen Miller appears in the Arctic Frost officer-match pool.

Stephen Miller

Former senior Trump White House adviser; founded AFL as an anti-civil-rights litigation shop. Appears in the Arctic Frost subpoena officer-match pool.
