Chairmen Jordan, Steil, and Comer Statement on Reports ActBlue May Have Misled Congress

April 6, 2026

WASHINGTON – Today, House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH), House Administration Committee Chairman Bryan Steil (R-WI), and House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY) issued the following statement after reporting alleged ActBlue may have misled Congress on how it vets foreign donations:

“Our investigation found ActBlue’s internal fraud prevention measures were wholly insufficient for preventing illegal foreign campaign donations. Today’s reporting reconfirms that finding and raises serious questions about whether ActBlue’s CEO intentionally misled Congress at the onset of this investigation,” said the Chairmen. “We will continue our investigation and keep all options on the table as we seek the truth.”

Background:

On December 9, 2024, Chairmen Jordan and Steil sent a letter to Sift, the company that provides "fraud detection and prevention services" for ActBlue, demanding information documents and communications related to Sift's efforts to deter fraudulent transactions on ActBlue.

On April 2, 2025, the Committees released a joint interim staff report that revealed ActBlue made its fraud-prevention rules “more lenient” twice in 2024—even though there is extensive fraud on the platform, including from foreign sources. The Committees also sent a letter to ActBlue requesting documents and transcribed interviews.

On June 25, 2025, the Committees issued two subpoenas to a current and a former ActBlue employee after they both failed to comply with the Committees' request for transcribed interviews.

On July 22, 2025, the Committees issued a subpoena to ActBlue CEO Regina Wallace-Jones for materials related to the Committees' investigation into the fundraising platform.

On September 4, 2025, the Committees issued subpoenas to one current and two former employees at ActBlue to appear for depositions.
