The Democrats’ Fraudulent Campaign Exposed by Potential ActBlue Criminal Charges
Allegations of potential criminal activity are being made against ActBlue, the Democratic fundraising platform that has raised millions for Kamala Harris. It is accused of fraudulently exploiting unwitting donors to bypass campaign finance laws.
The GOP-led Committee on House Administration has been looking into claims that fraudulent donations are being funneled to ActBlue in the form of gift cards and prepaid credit cards.
Chairman Bryan Steil, R-Wis, has referred the committee’s findings of possible criminal activity to the Republican attorneys general of Missouri, Arkansas, Texas, Florida, and Virginia for further investigation.
An analysis of over 200 million Federal Election Commission records by money laundering experts working for the committee revealed suspicious trends such as frequent donations of $2.50 from the same individual and other anomalies, including excessive donations and unexpected contributions from voters supporting the opposing party.
“This investigation has uncovered potential criminal activity that should be looked into by the appropriate law enforcement agency, such as your office.,” Steil wrote in letters to each attorney general, providing detailed donor records.
“The final analysis identified irregular donor profiles, ranked by the severity of the inconsistencies.
“Upon reviewing this analysis, it was evident that there is suspicious activity that requires further investigation.”
Whistleblower complaints prompted Steil’s investigation, which involved collaboration with the FEC, FinCEN, OFAC, and experts in money laundering, credit card fraud, and terrorism finance.
“I have confidence that the five Attorneys General will continue the investigation based on the excellent work our Committee has done, and I anticipate their findings,” Steil told Just The News.
“Through our probe into ActBlue and the alleged violations of campaign finance laws, we have honored our commitment to increasing transparency in our elections.”
Last month, Steil requested the FEC to enhance donor verification standards to require political committees to verify the CVV of credit cards provided by donors and prohibit the use of gift cards for donations.
Steil has also introduced legislation to implement additional safeguards for online political contributions.
