Connection to the Charlie Kirk case
Baker Tilly matters for two reasons in the Wolves And Finance analysis:
- Timeline: Zach of Wolves And Finance states a Baker Tilly audit concluded June 20, 2025, and speculates it "would have revealed all this information to Charlie Kirk shortly before his murder." This is an inference about timing, not evidence of motive.
- The dispute: Baker Tilly (and TPUSA's attorney Robert Barnes) reportedly maintain there is "nothing wrong" with the financials. Wolves And Finance disputes that, asking what specific audit procedures were used to test for prohibited political activity by the 501(c)(3)s. His challenge is opinion; the firm's clean opinion is the official position.
Why investigators track it
An independent auditor's conclusions are exactly what a competing DOGE-style audit would be checked against. This page fixes the auditor's identity and the disputed June 20, 2025 date so both sides of the record are visible.
Open questions
- What was the exact scope of the June 20, 2025 audit?
- Did it test for political-activity compliance across the c3 entities?
