ActBlue May Have Misled Congress on Foreign Donations

A law firm working for ActBlue last year warned the Democratic fundraising giant that its CEO “had given a potentially misleading response to congressional Republican investigators in a 2023 letter explaining how the organization vetted donations to ensure that they were not illegally coming from foreign citizens,” the New York Times reports.

“The memos instigated a meltdown at the highest levels of ActBlue, one of the Democratic Party’s most vital financial organs. A series of top officials resigned in quick succession… Democrats are nervous that any additional upheaval at ActBlue could destabilize the party’s critical fund-raising apparatus ahead of the midterm elections.”
