Democrat platform ActBlue subpoenaed by House committee amid concerns foreign donors exploited security flaws
Fox News
House Republicans are subpoenaing the Democratic fundraising platform ActBlue to see if it is properly verifying donors in compliance with campaign finance laws.
He said the subpoena is a bid to "safeguard our nation’s elections" and "close loopholes in our campaign finance system," including contributions from donors whose identities were not as stringently vetted. Breanne Deppisch is a politics reporter for Fox News Digital covering the 2024 election and other national news.
The request, sent just days ahead of the presidential election, comes as Republicans have expressed mounting concerns over ActBlue’s security policies and processes for vetting donors, which the platform has addressed in recent months with some policy changes.
ActBlue said in a statement Thursday that they have received the inquiry from Steil, "and will respond to address the continued inaccuracies and misrepresentations about our platform, as we have done previously."
