House Republicans Seek 5 ActBlue Board Interviews Over Foreign Donation Allegations
1 articles · Updated · Fox News · Jun 2
Five ActBlue board members were asked to sit for transcribed House interviews and turn over documents by June 16 as Republicans widen their investigation into the Democratic fundraising platform.
Three GOP committee chairs said records and reporting suggest the board may have known of or participated in misconduct tied to donor fraud, foreign donations and alleged misstatements to Congress.
Regina Wallace-Jones, ActBlue’s CEO, is expected to testify June 10 after Chairman Bryan Steil said she may have misled investigators about the platform’s fraud-prevention and donor-screening practices.
The probe also reaches the board’s response to internal turmoil, including reported retaliation against a lawyer who raised legal concerns and union warnings that compliance functions had been compromised.
ActBlue denies wrongdoing and faces no criminal charges, while Republicans argue the platform has stonewalled subpoenas and Democrats cast the inquiry as an effort to weaken a key fundraising machine before the midterms.
