April 24, 2025 MEMORANDUM FOR THE SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY THE ATTORNEY GENERAL THE COUNSEL TO THE PRESIDENT
SUBJECT: Investigation into Unlawful “Straw Donor” and Foreign Contributions in American Elections
Federal law (52 U.S.C. 30121 and 30122) strictly prohibits making political contributions in the name of another person, as well as contributions by foreign nationals.
Notwithstanding these laws designed to protect American democracy, press reports and investigations by congressional committees have generated extremely troubling evidence that online fundraising platforms have been willing participants in schemes to launder excessive and prohibited contributions to political candidates and committees.
Specifically, these reports raise concerns that malign actors are seeking to evade Federal source and amount limitations on political contributions by breaking down large contributions from one source into many smaller contributions, nominally attributed to numerous other individuals, potentially without the consent or even knowledge of the putative contributors. The reports also raise concerns that such “straw donations” are being made through “dummy” accounts, potentially using gift cards or prepaid credit cards to evade detection.
Further, there is evidence to suggest that foreign nationals are seeking to misuse online fundraising platforms to improperly influence American elections. A recent House of Representatives investigation revealed that a platform named ActBlue had in recent years detected at least 22 “significant fraud campaigns”, nearly half of which had a foreign nexus. During a 30-day window during the 2024 campaign, the platform detected 237 donations from foreign IP addresses using prepaid cards, indicating that this activity remains a pressing concern. These activities undermine the integrity of our electoral process. Therefore, I direct the Attorney General, in consultation with the Secretary of the Treasury, to use all lawful authority, as necessary, to investigate allegations regarding the unlawful use of online fundraising platforms to make “straw” or “dummy” contributions or foreign contributions to political candidates and committees, and to take all appropriate actions to enforce the law.
I further direct the Attorney General to report back to me through the Counsel to the President within 180 days of the date of this memorandum on the results of the investigation.
This memorandum is not intended to, and does not, create any right or benefit, substantive or procedural, enforceable at law or in equity by any party against the United States, its departments, agencies, or entities, its officers, employees, or agents, or any other person.
DONALD J. TRUMP

Do you have inside information on how, or what the AG is, or is not doing?
Because no one is reporting directly to you, does not mean they’re not working on multiple fronts.
Sit down, take a break, better yet take a nap, and let the professionals do their jobs.
Four months in, and you expect a quarter century of corruption to be eradicated? Nothing works that way.
-And you know exactly how the AG is maneuvering the DOJ after decades of leftist infiltration enough to damn her?
Correct title” Investigation into Unlawful “Straw Donor” and Foreign Contributions in American Elections”
Try that next time instead of your leftist anti-Bondi ranting.
This is the third time I know of that Trump ordered do- nothing airhead Blondi to do her job!
It’s an absolute disgrace that it has come to this.
A real AG would have been all over this two months ago.
DJT is much too busy to be AG too.
Why doesn’t he just fire her so she can concentrate on her full time job at Fox?
Amen
Act Blue will be a good place to start.
As previous poster stated, that ain’t the title of the link. What is it with you trolls. Filling up the place with your junk.
Pam Bondi is busier than a one-legged woman in a butt kicking contest. I hope she has plenty of good helpers to handle the immense challenges facing her.
The crones are jealous of her beauty and ability
Matches now. Did something change in the last 15 minutes?
No, I have what is happening before my eyes. Nothing is happening. It’s not like we haven’t seen this before. You have been trusting the plan for nearly 1700 days of miserable Trump AGs and FBI Directors. I was doing exactly as I am doing now throughout the last 3 1/2 years of the first term. More than likely you were telling me the very same, what do you know, trust the plan BS you are telling me today. I did not believe your 5D nonsense then, I certainly am not listening to it after 1700 days of being proven completely right. I would think that after making of a fool of yourself for four years, you’d get a clue.
Oh yeah, Blondi and Patel have managed to find the time to promote Steven Jensen. Steven Jensen is the Shadow State goon chiefly responsible for persecuting, arresting and throwing the J6 Patriots into the DOJ gulag for four years. That began 1/20/21. There was no trusting the plan then.
I have a challenge for you. There are a number of J6 Patriots active on X. They will gladly engage with you if you want to contact them to tell them to pipe down and trust the Blondi, Patel, Jensen plan. Yeah, that’s what I thought. You don’t have the hangy downs to do that.
Or better yet, go tell Virginia Giuffre to trust the plan to see justice for the crimes committed against her!
Thank you President Trump.
“Her name is Bondi, she’s doing a great job”
WHAT?!? You have lost your everlovin’ mind! She’s doing a great job obstructing justice and keeping the idiot Shadow State stooges happy. Unreal!
That’s all you got?! You completely ignore the fact that Trump has to rub her nose in her incompetency or corruption to get her to do anything. Btw, she’s still snubbing Trump’s direct orders! DOJ did nothing on Letitia James until FHA forced her hand. Trump was forced to sign two executive orders last month to force her hand. Homan did the investigations on the two judges charged.
It’s open season on MAGA conservatives as they are targeted for death by the swatters and you sit around trusting the plan.
You damnable Shadow State stooges and trolls have nothing better to do than try to silence anyone who challenges people not to trust your troll narrative but to believe their “lying eyes”
Trump and Musk serve the felons up on a silver platter to DOJ and nothing happens.
Grow up.
Vision! Hah, that’s rich!
