House Subpoenas ActBlue in Campaign Finance Probe

House Republicans, led by Rep. Bryan Steil, have issued a subpoena to ActBlue, the Democratic fundraising platform, to investigate potential foreign interference in the upcoming 2024 elections. This inquiry follows revelations from the Treasury Department regarding numerous suspicious activity reports related to ActBlue, prompting concerns that foreign entities might exploit the platform's security weaknesses to launder money. Steil's letter to ActBlue's CEO demands documentation of donor verification processes, emphasizing the need to safeguard elections from foreign influence. The subpoena must be complied with by November 6, shortly after the general election, underscoring the urgency of the investigation. While ActBlue has made recent changes to enhance security, including requiring credit card verification, the committee remains focused on closing loopholes in campaign finance regulations. No evidence has yet been presented to confirm the alleged illicit activities, but the probe reflects ongoing Republican concerns about campaign finance integrity.
