'ActBlue has become notorious for its lax standards that enable unverified and fraudulent donations.'
President Donald Trump is reportedly expected to sign a memorandum on Thursday directing the Department of Justice to open an investigation into the Democratic fundraising powerhouse ActBlue.
A fact sheet on the memo was obtained by several news outlets, directing Attorney General Pam Bondi to "investigate and take appropriate action concerning allegations regarding the use of online fundraising platforms to make 'straw' or 'dummy' contributions and to make foreign contributions to U.S. political candidates and committees, all of which break the law."
The fact sheet reportedly highlighted a 30-day period last year when ActBlue received 237 donations from foreign IP addresses using prepaid cards.
"President Trump is taking action to address malign actors and foreign nationals who seek to illegally influence American elections, undermining the integrity of our electoral process," it reads. "ActBlue has become notorious for its lax standards that enable unverified and fraudulent donations."
The House Judiciary Committee released a preliminary report on April 2 that outlined "potential illegal activity" on ActBlue, noting that it "made its fraud-prevention rules 'more lenient' twice in 2024—even though there is extensive fraud on the platform, including from foreign sources."
"Internal documents show that ActBlue executives and staff are aware that both foreign and domestic fraudulent actors are exploiting the platform but do not take the threat seriously. In fact, they attempted to hide the changes to avoid sparking discussions about fraud on the platform," the committee wrote. "For example, ActBlue's training guide for new fraud-prevention employees instructed them to 'look for reasons to accept contributions,' rather than err on the side of flagging suspicious donations."
Musk called for an investigation into the Democratic fundraising platform after House Republicans accused it of allowing "illegal election contributions." He has previously accused ActBlue of committing "massive fraud" and even funding leftist groups responsible for the wave of Tesla vandalism incidents.
"Something stinks about ActBlue," Musk stated.
ActBlue has reportedly been preparing for Trump's actions "for days," according to the Wall Street Journal.
ActBlue CEO and President Regina Wallace-Jones sent a letter to Democrats on Wednesday warning about the executive order rumors.
"We are ready for whatever is next from the far right," Wallace-Jones wrote.
"The current strategy of distraction and exhaustion is effective. We see this across the country and are not immune to this ourselves. The flow-on effect from the initial innuendo of the EO caused many in the ecosystem anxiety and distress," she continued.
"Nothing will deter or interrupt ActBlue's mission and work to enable millions of Americans to participate in our democracy," she added.
Wallace-Jones' letter noted that over $400 million had been donated to Democratic candidates through ActBlue from January through March.
ActBlue told Politico, "ActBlue plays a vital role in enabling all Americans to participate in our democracy, and the organization strictly abides by all federal and state laws governing its activities. We will always stand steadfast in defending the rights of all Americans to participate in our democracy, and ActBlue will continue its mission undeterred and uninterrupted, providing a safe, secure fundraising platform for the millions of grassroots donors who rely on us."
A DOJ spokesperson did not respond to a request for comment from NBC News.

Has anyone gone to jail yet?
Every GOP chapter in the US should be analyzing donation data, which is public, & finding the fraud. I’d bet there isn’t a Democrat in the country who couldn’t be accused of receiving fraudulent donations through ActBlue. Look for multiple small donations from an individual, then contact them to see if they actually made them. If not, go to your state AG with the evidence. If R’s were doing this through-out the country, I think we’d see a massive increase in our majorities in the house & the senate, not to mention in many local offices.

Unless the Republicans have their own skeletons that they don’t want the Dems digging up?
“Unless the Republicans have their own skeletons...”
Do R’s have a massive organization like ActBlue working for them? I doubt it. But the leftists are as able to look for fraud as we are, & I don’t doubt they keep an eye on such things. There’s already plenty of evidence that ActBlue is committing serious campaign donation fraud. It only takes a small effort to uncover it.
DOJ is already looking into the straw donors and smurfing. This is more of a political move. Trump is trolling and baiting; he would like Act Blue to sue and judge to block. It’s won’t matter because DOJ can investigate anyways. But they could see who’s behind the lawsuit their legal team and get more discovery.
“Internal documents show that ActBlue executives and staff are aware that both foreign and domestic fraudulent actors are exploiting the platform but do not take the threat seriously. In fact, they attempted to hide the changes to avoid sparking discussions about fraud on the platform,”
If that isn’t money laundering nothing is now let’s see how much bribe money flows.
Hint note democrat hacks standing in lines.
Republicans have a fundraising organization, WinRed, similar to ActBlue for Democrats. WinRed, however, allows banks to verify the identity of its donors, unlike ActBlue.
YYYYYYYYEEEEESSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!
