Congressional Committee investigating foreign donations to ActBlue

House Committee Subpoenas ActBlue Amid Foreign Donor Security Concerns

House Republicans have officially subpoenaed a key Democratic Party fundraising platform, intensifying scrutiny over its donor vetting mechanisms.

The subpoena issued to ActBlue seeks to bolster election integrity by addressing potential vulnerabilities in campaign financing ahead of the presidential election, as Fox News reports.

This week, ActBlue received a subpoena from House Administration Committee Chair Bryan Steil (R-WI) signaling a deepening probe into the security of campaign finance. The committee expressed concerns about possible loopholes that could be exploited by foreign entities.

A report from the New York Post also highlighted that the Treasury Department is currently reviewing some transactions on ActBlue for suspicious activities, further underscoring the concerns of House Republicans.
