Democrat fundraising behemoth in legal trouble
By Robyn Dolgin
ActBlue is one more brick in the “Blue Wall” giving way under scandal.
The warm-fuzzy marketing appeal of ActBlue to attract Democrat “small donors” has turned into the party’s worst nightmare: It is now being accused of operating a “money-laundering operation” as the Democrat party’s main fundraising platform, according to Republican lawmakers on the House Oversight Committee.
Suspicions surfaced when small donor funds reached billions with the math failing to add up.
“We are investigating potentially fraudulent and illicit financial activity” in connection with ActBlue’s network of on-line platforms, read a letter addressed to Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen by Republican lawmakers Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) and Rep. Nick Langworthy (R-NY). The lawmakers highlighted “concerns about fraud and evasion of campaign finance laws” traced to ActBlue’s trail of contributions for “causes” and “campaigns.”
The “non-profit” has now drawn the attention of other Republican leaders. “I think billionaires were flooding funds into ActBlue(‘s),” sophisticated on-line network,” reported former U.S. attorney general Jeff Clark. “You had people earning $2,000 per month, or unemployed, contributing 100,000s of dollars. It didn’t make any sense.”
