The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints on Tuesday, Dec. 17, 2019, defended how it uses and invests member donations after a former church employee charged in a complaint to the Internal Revenue Service that the faith had improperly built a $100 billion investment portfolio using member donations that are supposed to go to charitable causes.
