(Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs) "The Subcommittee's investigation revealed that, during the grant period, OneVoice developed a political strategy designed to defeat the incumbent Israeli government. That strategy relied on grassroots voter outreach and mobilization using campaign infrastructure built, in part, with State Department funds." "OneVoice did inform at least two State Department officials of its political plans, and it did so during the grant period. The Department took no action in response."
