FBI Urged to Investigate ActBlue Over Alleged Fraud and Campaign Finance Violations

Republican lawmakers cite hundreds of suspicious transactions and concerns about foreign influence through the Democratic fundraising platform.

Rep. Andy Biggs has called on the FBI to investigate ActBlue, citing allegations of fraud, money laundering, and potential violations of federal campaign finance laws.
House Republicans claim the Biden administration withheld access to suspicious activity reports (SARs) linked to ActBlue during its tenure, with new access granted under the Trump administration.
Concerns have been raised about ActBlue's donor verification policies, which critics argue could allow foreign actors to exploit the platform for election interference.
At least seven senior officials have recently resigned from ActBlue, prompting internal concerns about the organization's stability and governance.
ActBlue has denied the allegations, describing the Republican-led investigations as partisan attacks against Democratic and progressive small-dollar donors.
