The chairman of the powerful House Administration Committee says his investigation into one of the Democrats' most successful political action committees has pivoted to whether foreigners may be laundering money into the 2024 election.
Rep. Bryan Steil, W-Wis., said his committee has identified individuals who claim they did not make the donations attributed to them in Federal Election Commission (FEC) reports filed by ActBlue. His committee, which oversees election integrity issues, has “activated a full investigation.”

While that would help with credit card fraud, I’m not seeing how that helps with rapid donations being made in someone else’s name.
Didn’t O’Keefe put out video of this in 2021?
This has been going on since ‘93.
Even a sternly worded memo isn’t going to help.
