New Report Reveals Illicit Foreign Donations and Mass Resignations at ActBlue
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, the House Judiciary Committee, House Administration Committee, and House Oversight and Government Reform Committee released a joint interim staff report titled "Fraud on ActBlue, Part II: Illicit Foreign Donations and a Cover-up Sour Mass Resignations and Firings on ActBlue's Legal and Compliance Team."
The report details the mass exodus of the Democrat fundraising platform's legal and compliance teams in the months following the 2024 election. The report also reveals that the five current or former employees at ActBlue who appeared for depositions all invoked their Fifth Amendment right against self incrimination during questioning - for a total of 146 times.
Read excerpts from the report:
"Documents produced pursuant to the Committees' subpoenas show the collapse of ActBlue's legal and compliance team in the months after the 2024 election. By March 2025, every member of ActBlue's legal and compliance team resigned, was fired, or went on extended leave from the platform.
"Put simply: every member of ActBlue's legal and compliance team appears to have left the platform after the 2024 election because of its 'knowing and willful' acceptance of illegal foreign contributions, and the subsequent cover-up.
"The Committees conducted five depositions with key ActBlue fraud-prevention and legal personnel to obtain more information about the fraud-prevention failures detailed in the Committees' first report and the cover-up detailed here. The employees invoked their Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination in response to every single one of the Committees' substantive questions—146 times in total.
"The release of the full staff report comes after the Chairmen sent a follow up letter to Ms. Wallace-Jones last week demanding the organization fully comply with past subpoenas. "
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.
