Congress subpoenas two ActBlue officials
Just the News ^ | 6/25/25 | John Solomon

Congress issued subpoenas Tuesday to compel testimony from two ActBlue witnesses, significantly escalating a probe into whether the massive online fund-raising platform allowed itself to be misused by foreigners to route improper donations to Democrats in the 2024 election.

The subpoenas issued by House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan, House Oversight Chairman James Comer and House Administration Chairman Bryan Steil require the two witnesses, former ActBlue Vice President of Customer Service Alyssa Twomey and a senior workflow specialist, to appear for testimony by July 15.

Both witnesses were offered a chance to voluntarily submit to transcribed interviews, but their lawyer declined, citing an ongoing U.S. Justice Department investigation into ActBlue, according to correspondence obtained by Just the News.

"The Committees’ investigation has a clear – and important – legislative purpose," a letter accompanying the subpoenas to the witnesses declared. "Congress has a specific interest in ensuring that bad actors, including foreign actors, cannot make fraudulent or illegal political donations through online fundraising platforms."

I'm glad to see them finally using subpoenas rather than the "will you please" letters.

That’s cute, “allowed itself to be misused by foreigners”. I think that must have been in it’s mission statement.

Here is a redacted version of actblue contributions from one individual who lives in the same zip code as me and has my name. Note: he actually donated 134 times to Actblue, most of which are outside of the screenshot

To repugnic-nts, this is enough. They are not even interested in finding out the truth, let alone PUNISHING them for it.

So this tells the left that why WON again, and they can keep doing whatever they want.

ActBlue exists to facilitate foreign cash into US elections (democrats specifically).

Someone was writing code to spread out donations(USAID funds?) into hundreds of smaller donations. You can see the pattern in the amounts.
