Three key House committees—Oversight, Judiciary, and Administration—have updated the Department of Justice on their ongoing investigation into ActBlue, a Democratic fundraising platform. Led by Reps.

James Comer, Jim Jordan, and Bryan Steil, the inquiry alleges that ActBlue’s lax fraud-prevention policies have enabled potentially illicit donations, including from foreign actors. A key concern is the platform’s past failure to require CVV numbers for credit card donations, making contributions more vulnerable to fraud. Although ActBlue has since updated its policies, Republicans claim these changes were delayed to avoid impacting Democratic fundraising. A recent congressional report also alleges ActBlue knowingly allowed fraudulent activity. Investigators cite interviews with Americans—often retirees—who were listed as making dozens or hundreds of donations they claim they never made. Lawmakers have requested “suspicious activity reports” from the Treasury Department. ActBlue has denied wrongdoing, maintaining it follows strict anti-fraud protocols. Despite these claims, Republicans argue many unanswered questions remain about the platform’s donor verification and fraud response practices.
