Source: 3 Tennessee lawmakers took Gulen-funded trips to Turkey
The joint investigation by USA TODAY and the Center for Public Integrity found that 151 state and federal lawmakers from 29 states, including Tennessee, took trips to Turkey between 2006 and 2015 that were financed by nonprofit organizations linked to the movement led by Islamic cleric Fethullah Gulen.
Gulen lives in Pennsylvania, and the Turkish government has sought his extradition, which has yet to be granted by the U.S. government.
In addition to opposition to the current Turkish government, the Gulen movement has been accused of trying to sway legislation and opinion and in the United States regarding charter schools. The USA TODAY and CPI investigation found that some lawmakers filed legislation in support of charter schools.
