Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche suggested that the Department of Justice is investigating ActBlue after a New York Times report said that ActBlue might have lied to Congress about vetting foreign donations. 

Blanche told TV show host Jesse Waters: "That's a priority of this administration and this DOJ. It's something that a lot of people have been worried about it for a very long time. You can rest assured that it includes the Department of Justice and it includes me."

🚨Act Blue reportedly LIED to Congress about vetting foreign donations.

Per the New York Times:

Foreign donors “who paid through third-party apps like Apple Pay, PayPal or Venmo were not asked for passport information.”

As the NYT notes:

“Federal election law prohibits foreign citizens or people who are not permanent residents from donating directly to federal candidates or political action committees. Lying to or obstructing Congress is a crime.”

Let's guess even a NY TIMES story calling out Act Blue will NOT make the network news shows tonight.

A bombshell NYT report on the major legal jeopardy ActBlue is facing! ActBlue allegedly failed to investigate potentially illegal foreign political contributions and then misrepresented its safeguards to Congress.

As a former FEC Chairman, I can tell you this is a big deal. https://t.co/Wc1I2bFbKv— Sean Cooksey (@SeanJCooksey) April 2, 2026

NYTimes: "In early 2025, a law firm working for ActBlue, the Democratic fund-raising behemoth, delivered the organization a startling warning. The firm concluded that ActBlue’s chief executive had given a potentially misleading response to congressional Republican investigators…— Peter Schweizer (@peterschweizer) April 2, 2026

Did Democrats use ActBlue to funnel foreign money in American elections and then LIE to Congress about it? The Senate must immediately renew investigations into ActBlue, their lawyers, and their entire leadership team. https://t.co/REcfLsnhUC— Bernie Moreno (@berniemoreno) April 2, 2026

ActBlue's comms team is now accusing both the New York Times AND their OWN LAWYERS of lying in the SAME press release.

We're in uncharted territory folks, a truly generational comms team meltdown.
