Republican leaders of three House committees have criticized ActBlue, a major Democratic fundraising platform, for inadequate fraud prevention measures. They cite internal chaos, executive resignations, and a lack of a legal team as red flags for ActBlue's ability to prevent fraud and comply with legal standards. The letter demanded documents concerning these resignations along with testimony from specific ActBlue employees. ActBlue has stated it will respond to the committees' requests, maintaining its commitment to transparency amid growing allegations of lowered fraud prevention standards in 2024. This inquiry aligns with Republicans' broader strategy against Democratic political infrastructure.
The Republican chairmen specifically demanded documents related to the resignation of officials in the general counsel's office of ActBlue, which were first reported last month by The New York Times.
Megan Hughes, a spokeswoman for ActBlue, said in a statement: As we have historically done, ActBlue will continue to respond to requests from the House committees.
The interim report from Republicans on the Judiciary, Oversight and Administration committees accused ActBlue of having lowered its fraud-prevention standards in 2024.
The chairmen of the House Judiciary, Oversight and Administration committees wrote in a four-page letter on Wednesday, demanding more information about the recent resignations of a raft of top executives.
