Landmark Legal’s $17.2 million is nearly all dark money. Julie Strauss Levin sits on the Virginia board that walks Israeli defense firms into U.S. contracts.
Mark Levin’s foreign-policy megaphone runs beside a nonprofit money machine the public cannot fully see. His Landmark Legal Foundation took in millions in contributions whose donor identities federal rules keep off the public return.
His wife, Julie Strauss Levin, holds a seat on a Virginia state board that works with Israel’s Defense Ministry to build partnerships with America’s federal contractors.
Landmark’s 2024 tax filing reported $6.14 million in revenue, including $5.64 million in contributions — 91.9 percent of the total — and $17.21 million in net assets. The filing lists Mark R. Levin as director and chairman. Its 2022 return reported $7.79 million in contributions, or 99.8 percent of revenue.
The filings identify the money but not the people behind it. The IRS says tax-exempt organizations generally do not have to publicly disclose contributor names and addresses on annual returns. That is the legal blackout Leah of The Leah Files called out in her exchange with Ana Kasparian.

Julie Strauss Levin’s public biography says she was appointed to the Commonwealth’s Virginia Israel Advisory Board. CPAC identifies her as Mark Levin’s wife and general counsel of America First Legal Foundation.
The VIAB calls itself a Virginia government agency. Its defense program leaves no ambiguity about its purpose:
“The Virginia Israel Advisory Board works with the Israel Ministry of Defense … to develop partnerships with leading federal contractors.”— Virginia Israel Advisory Board
That is the network: Levin’s donor-shielded legal foundation, his wife’s America First Legal post, and a Virginia state board building Israeli defense-industry access to the American contracting system.
