Ready to uncover the truth? Sick of the lies? Join our Telegram Channel now. It’s time for the real story! Stay informed! My gratitude to all my readers!
Federal Judge John McConnell failed to disclose his role at Crossroads Rhode Island while ruling against Trump’s spending freeze.
His non-profit received $128M in government funding during his 18-year board tenure, including $42M from 2020-2023.
Rhode Island, a plaintiff in the case, already sent his organization $2.9M in 2025.
The judge ordered federal funds to keep flowing to states—and coincidentally, to his own non-profit.
Federal law requires judges to recuse themselves when their impartiality might be questioned.
Wonder why he didn’t?!
1. BREAKING — FEDERAL JUDGE McCONNELL MUST RECUSE HIMSELF IMMEDIATELY.
AFL has uncovered a major potential conflict of interest for Judge John McConnell, Chief Judge of the federal district court of Rhode Island, who halted President Trump’s temporary spending freeze.

2. AFL has uncovered evidence suggesting that Judge McConnell appears to be currently serving on the Board of Directors for the non-profit NGO Crossroads Rhode Island, where he was previously the Chair of the Board and is still currently listed as the Chair-Emeritus.
3. In fact, Judge McConnell has appeared as a Director on Crossroads’ IRS Form 990 every year since he took the federal bench in 2013.
4. And, for much of that time, he served as Chair of the Board, a position he held from 2011 through 2021.
Prior to serving as Chair, he was the Vice Chair in 2009 and 2010 and a board member from 2006 to 2008.
The Powers That Be Are Lying to You—Here’s What They Don’t Want You to Know!
5. According to Crossroads’ 2023 Form 990, Crossroads Rhode Island received over $18.6 million in government funding that year alone.
That accounted for over half of its $30 million of revenue.
6. AFL’s review of required disclosure forms reveals that since Judge McConnell became Vice Chair of the Board of Crossroads Rhode Island in 2009, the organization has received over $117.6 million in government funding (accounting to the end of 2023).
Crossroads received over $42 million from 2020 to 2023 from government sources, including the state of Rhode Island, a named plaintiff in the lawsuit.
7. This year, Rhode Island government records show that Crossroads Rhode Island has already received just under $2.9 million in FY2025 to provide various programs and services to Rhode Island, one of the plaintiffs.
8. Why is this significant? Keep reading.
9. It is common practice for the federal government to disburse money to the states, which then hand it out to NGOs like Crossroads Rhode Island.
Here, Judge McConnell ordered taxpayer dollars to continue flowing to the states, including Rhode Island, writing, “[s]tates rely on federal funds to provide and maintain vital programs.”
10. USA Spending shows that in the past 15 years, 155 federal grants to Rhode Island state and local governments list Crossroads Rhode Island as a sub-awardee.
In FY2023 alone, the organization’s audit shows that more than $10 million in federal funding flowed through Rhode Island to Crossroads.
11. In short, in the 18 years Judge McConnell has been on the board of Crossroads Rhode Island, it has received over $128 million in government funding.
When Judge McConnell ruled against the Trump Administration and required federal taxpayers to continue funding the State of Rhode Island, it seems that he also required continued funding for his pet “non-profit,” Crossroads Rhode Island.
