The House Administration, Oversight, and Judiciary Committees has released a joint interim staff report on its investigation into alleged donor fraud by ActBlue.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

According to Breitbart<\/a>, the report released Monday says five current and former employees of the Democratic fundraising platform ActBlue took the Fifth Amendment 146 times during testimony before congressional committees.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Fifth Amendment protects witnesses from potential self-incrimination by allowing them to remain silent.<\/p>\n

The report titled \u201cFraud on ActBlue, Part II: Illicit Foreign Donations and a Cover-up Sour Mass Resignations and Firings on ActBlue\u2019s Legal and Compliance Team<\/a>\u201d details efforts on the part of Congress to investigate claims of fraudulent donations to the platform and argues that ActBlue made its fraud-prevention rules \u201cmore lenient\u201d twice in 2024.<\/p>\n

\ud83d\udea8NEW REPORT: ACTBLUE EMPLOYEES TAKE THE FIFTH WHEN ASKED ABOUT FOREIGN FRAUD AND WHISTLEBLOWER RETALIATION AT THE DEMOCRAT DONATION PLATFORM<\/p>\n

A\u00a0press release<\/a>\u00a0from the House Judiciary Committee revealed that the \u201cfive current or former employees at ActBlue who appeared for depositions all invoked their Fifth Amendment right against self incrimination during questioning\u2014for a total of 146 times.\u201d<\/p>\n

The report makes clear that two ActBlue officials, one of whom formerly served as VP of customer service, and three of its former lawyers \u201cdeclined to answer a single one of the Committees\u2019 substantive questions.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

According to Breitbart, the report also states that internal documents produced to the Committees by ActBlue and its fraud-prevention contractor, Sift, \u201creflect a fundamentally unserious approach to fraud prevention at ActBlue\u2014one that has left the door open for large scale fraud campaigns on Democrats\u2019 top fundraising platform<\/strong>.\u201d<\/p>\n

Investigators also cited internal trainings that directed ActBlue\u2019s fraud-prevention team to \u201clook for reasons to accept contributions\u201d rather than examine them closely for indicators of fraud\u2014as required by federal regulation.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0<\/em>New York Post<\/em>\u00a0reports<\/a>\u00a0that ActBlue has repeatedly denied wrongdoing and, in a recent statement through a spokesperson, has maintained that it has \u201calways been forthcoming with Congress.\u201d<\/p>\n

An excerpt\u00a0from the report<\/a>\u00a0reveals that \u201cDocuments produced pursuant to the Committees\u2019 subpoenas show the collapse of ActBlue\u2019s legal and compliance team in the months after the 2024 election. By March 2025, every member of ActBlue\u2019s legal and compliance team resigned, was fired, or went on extended leave from the platform.\u201d<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

The report goes on to say the following: \u201cPut simply: every member of ActBlue\u2019s legal and compliance team appears to have left the platform after the 2024 election because of its \u2018knowing and willful\u2019 acceptance of illegal foreign contributions, and the subsequent cover-up.<\/strong>\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
