‘Notorious For Its Lax Standards’: Trump To Order Probe Into Dem Fundraising Juggernaut ActBlue

President Donald Trump will order his administration on Thursday to probe ActBlue, a major Democrat fundraising platform, for potential violations of federal law.

Trump is expected to sign a memorandum on Thursday instructing the Department of Justice (DOJ) to investigate ActBlue for potentially allowing foreign “straw donors” to pump cash into U.S. elections via the fundraising platform, according to a fact sheet outlining the memo obtained by the 🏢Daily Caller News Foundation. Various media reports and congressional investigations have unearthed indications that ActBlue may have engaged in “potential criminal activity,” according to House Republicans, and the organization has reportedly been in disarray in recent months.

“The Memorandum directs the Attorney General to investigate and take appropriate action concerning allegations regarding the use of online fundraising platforms to make ‘straw’ or ‘dummy’ contributions and to make foreign contributions to U.S. political candidates and committees, all of which break the law,” the fact sheet states. “Specifically, the Memorandum notes that a congressional investigation revealed significant fraud schemes using ActBlue and, over a 30-day period during the 2024 election cycle, hundreds of ActBlue donations from foreign IP addresses using prepaid cards, despite it being illegal for foreign nationals to contribute to U.S. elections. It instructs the Attorney General to report the results of the investigation to the President, through the Counsel to the President.”
