ActBlue CEO pleads the Fifth in House hearing on alleged foreign donations
Regina Wallace-Jones declined to answer Republicans’ questions as ActBlue faces scrutiny over foreign donations and alleged misstatements about its vetting practices.
- ActBlue CEO Regina Wallace-Jones repeatedly invoked the Fifth Amendment during a highly tense House Administration Committee hearing on Wednesday, refusing to answer any questions regarding the platform's donation vetting practices.
- The CEO declined to answer questions 21 times over the hour-long hearing, issuing a prepared statement in response to inquiries from House Republicans regarding whether she knew the platform was accepting illegal foreign contributions.
- The investigation centers on a 2023 letter Wallace-Jones sent to Congress, where she assured lawmakers that ActBlue had strict fraud prevention measures requiring passport verification, which internal memos later revealed was inaccurate due to third-party payment bypasses via PayPal and Venmo.
- Wallace-Jones defended her silence in a Washington Post op-ed published ahead of the hearing, calling the GOP-led probe a bad-faith effort intended to harass a political opponent's fundraising mechanism rather than conduct genuine legislative oversight.
- The standoff follows a joint congressional report revealing widespread internal turmoil, which noted that five other current and former ActBlue compliance officials previously invoked their Fifth Amendment rights 146 times during depositions regarding potential donor fraud.
