Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has filed a lawsuit against ActBlue, alleging the Democratic fundraising platform enabled fraudulent and foreign donations.
Paxton seeks to bar ActBlue from accepting gift cards and prepaid debit cards, citing internal concerns about lax fraud prevention and misleading statements to Congress.
ActBlue denies wrongdoing, calling the lawsuit politically motivated, as investigations continue into its donation vetting practices and potential impact on Democratic fundraising.
