House Judiciary Committee Chair Jim Jordan, House Oversight Chair James Comer and House Administration Chair Bryan Steil vowed Monday to continue their probe into how ActBlue vets foreign donations after a report indicated it may have lied to Congress.
A New York Times report last week found that a law firm for ActBlue warned the company last year that it may have misled Congress in a 2023 letter that claimed it used "multilayered” screenings of contributions to help “root out” donations from overseas, but the law firm found that some steps were not always followed.
The lawmakers said the report supported their finding that ActBlue weakened its fraud protections during the 2024 election and had insufficient measures to protect against foreign donations.
“Our investigation found ActBlue’s internal fraud prevention measures were wholly insufficient for preventing illegal foreign campaign donations," the chairmen said. "Today’s reporting reconfirms that finding and raises serious questions about whether ActBlue’s CEO intentionally misled Congress at the onset of this investigation.
"We will continue our investigation and keep all options on the table as we seek the truth," they added.

The GOP continues playing softball.
They are Anti-American communist pigs. Of course, they misled Congress. There is no such thing as Democrats anymore.
Lots of probes, investigations, hearings, etc.
Exposure is useless without consequences.
Yeah “may have mislead”. I bet a sternly written letter is coming.
The Republican congress is slow as hell.
ActBlue was outed three years ago.
“James O’Keefe has alleged that ActBlue, a major Democratic fundraising platform, is involved in a “money laundering scheme” using “straw donors” to process fraudulent contributions. O’Keefe’s investigations, which began in 2023, claim that individuals, particularly elderly citizens, are listed as high-volume donors without their knowledge. ActBlue has denied these claims.” - AI
Based on reports from April 2026, the Democratic fundraising platform ActBlue is facing allegations that its leadership misled Congress regarding its ability to vet and block illegal foreign donations.
Key details regarding these allegations include:
Internal Warnings: Internal memos from outside legal counsel (Covington & Burling) reportedly warned ActBlue leadership that previous statements to Congress regarding their donation vetting processes were not fully accurate.
Congressional Investigation: House committees (Judiciary, Administration, and Oversight) are investigating allegations that ActBlue allowed fraudulent, foreign-sourced, or straw donor contributions to bypass security measures, such as using prepaid cards.
“Lenient” Standards: A Republican-led interim staff report claimed that ActBlue made its fraud-prevention rules “more lenient” twice in 2024, despite warnings about potential foreign money.
ActBlue has strongly denied misleading Congress, stating that the reporting on the internal legal memos misinterprets privileged communications and that it has been transparent with congressional inquiries.
Following the legal warnings, multiple senior officials in ActBlue’s general counsel office resigned.ActBlue has defended its security, noting that potential foreign contributions constitute less than 1% of the total funds processed, and has characterized the investigation as a “coordinated attack” and a “partisan” effort.
Right here is the Grand Canyon of differences between Republiwussies and the Socialists in terms of results delivered.
Probing does nothing you jackwagons
Not to mention millions, if not a billion spent on all of the democrat party nonsense. What did we get for our money? Zip, zero, nada.
A criminal leftist organization lied to Congress. By the way it’s lied not misled. This comes as such a surprise. And what will be a surprise is if the ball less GOP Congress actually does something.
Are they tax exempt…that should immediately change.
“Our investigation found ActBlue’s internal fraud prevention measures were wholly insufficient for preventing illegal foreign campaign donations,” the chairmen said. “Today’s reporting reconfirms that finding and raises serious questions about whether ActBlue’s CEO intentionally misled Congress at the onset of this investigation.”
So what? Congress never does anything to protect Americans. They will prosecute no one. They will remove NO elected officials who accepted foreign money. They will prosecute no member of Act Blue. This is primarily why Congress has an approval rate of less than 10%
Am I the only one that has noticed that the investigation into Act Blue has now transformed into an investigation on foreign campaign donations. What happened to all the evidence that they were using straw donors to enter contributions without the straw donors knowledge. What happened to that investigation. Swept under the rug. I feel like I am living in the twilight zone where I am the only one that can remember the past. Did I just dream about it ?
No, I remember that, too. You’d think there would’ve been arrests & prosecutions by now. All the House Committee can do is forward their findings to the FBI/DOJ. They’re the ones that have to act. Hopefully Bondi’s replacement will do something about this.
