ActBlue Continues to Evade Congressional Review, Triggering Subpoena Threat

pgnewser May 23, 2025

ActBlue is facing potential subpoenas from numerous U.S. House committees after allegedly stonewalling investigations by congress into their alleged illegal funneling of foreign dollars into DNC campaign coffers. The GOP-led congress has had enough and appears prepared to issue subpoenas to force ActBlue officials to face public accountability for their alleged crimes.

House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, House Oversight Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., and House Administration Chairman Bryan Steil, R-Wis., wrote a letter to ActBlue that stated, “As we have explained, the Committees are examining allegations that ActBlue, a leading political fundraising organization, allowed bad actors, including foreign actors, to exploit the company’s online platform to make fraudulent political donations… Fraudulent political donations corrupt American elections could amount to interstate criminal conduct,”

The chairmen of three powerful House committees on Thursday threatened to issue subpoenas after several current and former top officials of the Democrat online fund-raising platform ActBlue declined to testify in a probe into possible foreign and fraudulent political donations, according to correspondence obtained by Just the News.

House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, House Oversight Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., and House Administration Chairman Bryan Steil, R-Wis., revealed in the letters that several of the witnesses initially agreed to voluntary, transcribed interviews, then pulled back through their lawyer earlier this month after President Donald Trump signed an order instructing the Justice Department to probe the platform.

The Federal Election Commission (FEC) has opened an investigation into Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) over donations made to her 2024 campaign by the Democratic fundraising organization Act Blue.

The FEC began its probe after receiving a complaint from the conservative Coolidge-Reagan Foundation in late March.

The complaint alleges that Crockett received 53 separate donations of $595 from a 73 year old supporter named Randy Best through the Act Blue portal.

However, when one of Crockett’s opponents for 2026 spoke to Best’s wife, she denied that the couple knew anything about donations, raising concerns that the Act Blue donations may have been made by others with donations being given under false names.

Top Republican House leaders have formally requested that ActBlue, one of the Democratic Party’s largest political action committees, turn over documents related to its governance and operations.

In a letter dated April 2 to ActBlue President and Chief Executive Officer Regina Wallace-Jones, the chairmen of the House committees on the Judiciary, Oversight and Government Reform, and Administration requested documents and testimony from two employees of the organization.

The names of the employees whose testimony was requested were redacted in the version of the letter that was made public.

A source familiar with the investigation told The Daily Signal, “We expect ActBlue employees to participate in the transcribed interviews and submit the required documents.” The source explained, “If they fail to comply, all options are on the table.”

An ActBlue spokesperson told The Daily Signal, “As we have historically done, ActBlue will continue to respond to requests from the House committees.”

In their letter, the committee chairs said that they were seeking “to investigate ActBlue’s fraud-prevention policies and practices, which may allow bad actors to make fraudulent political donations, including from foreign sources.”

ActBlue’s “Small Donor” Buzz was Money Laundering Fraud, Republicans Allege

pgnewser March 11, 2025 2

ActBlue, a Democrat Party donor collection app that touted itself as being “small doner based,” has been exposed as the tip of a DNC NGO scheme designed to launder ill-gotten government monies into “legitimate” donations.

In a letter to Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen, GOP representatives Jim Jordan (R-OH) and Nick Langworthy (R-NY) stated, “We are investigating potentially fraudulent and illicit financial activity” in connection with ActBlue’s network of on-line platforms.”

ActBlue is one more brick in the “Blue Wall” giving way under scandal.

The warm-fuzzy marketing appeal of ActBlue to attract Democrat “small donors” has turned into the party’s worst nightmare: It is now being accused of operating a “money-laundering operation” as the Democrat party’s main fundraising platform, according to Republican lawmakers on the House Oversight Committee.

Suspicions surfaced when small donor funds reached billions with the math failing to add up.

“We are investigating potentially fraudulent and illicit financial activity” in connection with ActBlue’s network of on-line platforms, read a letter addressed to Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen by Republican lawmakers Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) and Rep. Nick Langworthy (R-NY). The lawmakers highlighted “concerns about fraud and evasion of campaign finance laws” traced to ActBlue’s trail of contributions for “causes” and “campaigns.”

The “non-profit” has now drawn the attention of other Republican leaders. “I think billionaires were flooding funds into ActBlue(‘s),” sophisticated on-line network,” reported former U.S. attorney general Jeff Clark. “You had people earning $2,000 per month, or unemployed, contributing 100,000s of dollars. It didn’t make any sense.”

Excerpt:

In a press release, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton announced troubling findings in his office’s investigation into left-wing fundraising arm ActBlue. Several states have opened investigations into ActBlue after James O’Keefe and other independent investigators uncovered highly questionable donations across the country.

On Monday, Paxton announced that he will sent a Petition for Rulemaking to the Federal Election Commission (FEC) “detailing how suspicious actors appear to be using ActBlue’s political fundraising platform to make a large number of straw political donations.”

In December 2023, Paxton opened an investigation after a number of reporters uncovered dozens of highly suspicious donations. Investigative researcher Parker Thayer, who works with the Capital Research Center, shared a screenshot showing tens-of-thousands of donations allegedly sent by the same Michigan individual.

“A single donor in the small town of Monroe has supposedly donated over 20,000 times since 2019, totaling >$40,000,” Thayer wrote. “They live in a 1,000 sqft house built in 1956.”

“There are dozens more donors like the examples above, and there are two explanations,” Thayer wrote. “1. [ActBlue] is preying on seniors with poor memory by repeatedly sending them requests to sign up for stacking monthly contributions. 2. Some sort of straw-donor scheme is happening.”

U.S. intelligence officials appear “clueless” about an alleged campaign money-laundering scheme on behalf of Democrat candidates now the subject of several lawsuits and soon lawmaker subpoenas, U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson tells The Federalist.

For the better part of the past two years, the Wisconsin Republican has been raising alarm bells about alleged “smurfing” activities through ActBlue, Democrats’ online donation platform that has taken in millions of dollars for Vice President Kamala Harris’ presidential campaign. As Johnson notes in a recent column in The Daily Caller, the practice appears to involve hundreds, even thousands, of low-dollar donations made in the names of individuals without their knowledge. Some suspect the money is coming from wealthy foreign actors looking to affect U.S. elections — especially next month’s presidential election.

As Just the News first reported, Wisconsin conservative strategist Mark Block, who claims he’s a victim of the alleged scheme, names ActBlue in a recent racketeering lawsuit charging that unnamed participants have violated the Wisconsin Organized Control Act.
