House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan, House Administration Committee Chairman Bryan Steil, and House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman James Comer issued a statement on Apr. 6 following reports that ActBlue may have provided misleading information to Congress about its process for vetting foreign donations.
The statement comes as the committees continue their investigation into whether ActBlue’s fraud prevention systems were sufficient to prevent illegal foreign contributions. The chairmen said, “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.” They added, “We will continue our investigation and keep all options on the table as we seek the truth.”
Previous actions by the committees include sending a letter in December 2024 to Sift, a company providing fraud detection services for ActBlue, requesting documents related to efforts against fraudulent transactions. In April 2025, an interim staff report indicated that ActBlue made its fraud-prevention rules more lenient twice in 2024 despite ongoing issues with fraudulent activity from foreign sources. The committees also sent requests for documents and interviews from ActBlue during this period.
Subpoenas were issued in June and July of 2025 to current and former employees of ActBlue who did not comply with interview requests, including one directed at CEO Regina Wallace-Jones. Additional subpoenas followed in September 2025.
