‘We’re starting with the suspicious activity reports … and let me tell you, the evidence is overwhelming.’
By Bob Unruh
ActBlue is a fundraising operation that has raised, literally, billions of dollars for Democrats in recent years.
It also could be one of the biggest money-laundering schemes ever assembled, and there could be charges coming.
That’s according to multiple reports that have confirmed an investigation currently under way in Congress.
“We’re investigating ActBlue the same way we investigated the Bidens,” explained Rep. James Comer, R-Ky., the chief of the House Oversight Committee.
“We’re starting with the suspicious activity reports — bank violations that flag financial crimes. And let me tell you, the evidence is overwhelming.”
Multiple Democrat fundraisers have been investigated in recent years, including video reports that confirm some of those organizations have been benefiting from thousands of donations from individuals who have confirmed they were unaware of those donations running under their names.
The suggestion has been money-laundering, with massive amounts of cash being funneled, sometimes from overseas, into Democrat campaigns in America.

It is the Gateway Pundit that published a transcript of an interview with Benny Johnson in which Comer “laid out a damning case against the far-left fundraising juggernaut, accusing it of funneling billions in suspicious cash – potentially from foreign adversaries – into Democrat coffers under the guise of ‘grassroots’ donations.”
The report said the investigation is being accompanied by “chaos” inside ActBlue, where “key executives are resigning, lawyers are jumping ship, employees are getting locked out of their computers….”
Johnson, a conservative commentator, pointed out, “When the lawyers flee, you know you’re cooked.”
Comer’s committee actually started investigating “after discovering a flood of small-dollar donations from untraceable sources, many from elderly Americans who were unaware their names were being used to funnel cash into the Democrat machine,” the report said.

Comer said his work had been obstructed under the Joe Biden administration by his appointee, Janet Yellen, who “would not reply to my request” for information about “suspicious activity reports.”
“Heck, my opponent—whom I beat by 50 points—raised several hundred thousand dollars on ActBlue, despite having zero chance of winning. If you ranked the races from 1 to 435, hers wouldn’t even be in the top 400 in terms of competitiveness. Yet she was still getting all these mysterious donations. You had House candidates whose campaign budgets were 80% funded by anonymous small donors on ActBlue,”
Eventually, his staffers found “several hundred” such reports from banking institutions.
Under President Trump, he’s hoping for more details now.

“But from what we’ve already seen—from media reports and the few bank violations we’ve reviewed—many of our worst theories regarding ActBlue are going to be confirmed.”
Johnson cited just one situation, where an 80-year-old woman living in a rent-controlled apartment in Virginia had made 22,619 donations in 500 days – totaling more than $800,000.
A report from Fox News said Rep. Andy Biggs, R-Ariz., has written to the FBI calling for an investigation of ActBlue.
“In 2024, President Biden’s Treasury Department found hundreds of suspicious transactions with ActBlue reported by banks,” Biggs wrote. “The U.S. House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform and the Committee on House Administration have been investigating these allegations of misconduct. But the previous administration has stalled access to the necessary documents. This week, Oversight Chairman Comer and Administration Chairman Stiles have renewed their request with Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent.”
The letter cites the concern that ActBlue’s practices potentially could allow foreign interests, from “China, Venezuela and Russia,” to invest in elections and influence them.
“Biggs also pointed out in his letter that nineteen state attorneys general across the country have made inquiries into ActBlue over a variety of allegations, including fraud, money laundering, fraudulent and counterfeit use of credit and debit cards, and patterns of contributions that are suspicious,” the report said.
Biggs cited the “serious threat to the integrity of our elections” such an operation would pose.
ActBlue has called Republican suspicions and investigations “a partisan political attack.”
Also, GOP Rep. Darrell Issa of California has asked for an investigation into what were described as “credible allegations” ActBlue has violated federal law by allowing terror-linked groups to use its platform.
