Contractors for Dem fundraising platform ActBlue summoned to Congress amid fraud probe

Contractors for the Democratic fundraising platform ActBlue have been summoned to appear before Congress amid a sweeping probe into potentially fraudulent — and even foreign-sourced — donations during the 2024 election, according to a pair of letters exclusively obtained by The Post.

The House Oversight, Judiciary and Administration Committees fired off letters to two employees of the AI-powered fraud prevention software firm Sift who worked with ActBlue — and reportedly know “critical” information about how the lead Dem funding portal adopted a “more lenient” standard for suspicious donations.

“The Committees are concerned that ActBlue has maintained poor anti-fraud practices that may have allowed bad actors to make fraudulent political donations, including from foreign sources,” wrote Oversight Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.), Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) and Administration Chairman Bryan Steil (R-Wis.).

The letters were addressed to Sift’s director of customer success and senior customer success manager.

“ActBlue is a safe and secure fundraising platform, trusted by donors for more than 20 years – that’s how we’ve become a vital part of American democracy,” a spokeswoman for the platform said in a statement responding to the letter.

“This continued targeting of ActBlue and our partners by MAGA Republicans needs to be seen for what it is: Donald Trump’s latest front in his campaign to stamp out all political, electoral and ideological opposition.”

CEO Regina Wallace-Jones is still employed at ActBlue following several resignations by senior officials in late February.

Republican investigators had asked for further documentation from her about the platform’s fraud standards to be handed over by April 16.

The demands come after President Trump signed an executive order last Thursday authorizing Attorney General Pam Bondi to investigate illicit “straw donors” or foreign funding in federal elections — in a memo that cited allegations of ActBlue allowing “dummy” accounts

When the news first came out three months ago that ActBlue would be investigated by congress —about a seven or so staffers at ActBlue resigned.

I asked grok about this. the answer was the following:

At least seven senior officials at ActBlue, including top legal staff, resigned in the weeks following the 2024 presidential election, amid reports of impending investigations into the organization’s fundraising practices. This was first noted in early March 2025, with sources pointing to internal chaos and GOP-led probes as factors. The exact timing of each resignation relative to the investigation news is unclear, but the departures were clustered within a short period post-election.

Congressional hearings mean nothing of substance.

They are theatrical productions to entertain the followers.

Let's see indictments and prosecutions. That means something.

I’ll help you with how the interview will go:

10 say “I don’t know”
20 say “I don’t remember”
30 say “I plead the 5th”
40 goto 10
