- House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan, Oversight Chairman James Comer, and Administration Chairman Bryan Steil threatened to subpoena current and former ActBlue officials on May 22, 2025, in Washington, D.C.
- The subpoenas follow allegations that ActBlue allowed fraudulent and foreign donations during the 2024 presidential campaign, with witnesses initially agreeing but later refusing interviews, prompting enforcement action.
- The committees are probing evidence that bad actors, including foreign agents from China, Russia, Iran, and Venezuela, exploited ActBlue’s online fundraising platform to funnel illicit political contributions.
- Their letter emphasized that prior rulings establish that ongoing state or federal law enforcement probes do not limit Congress’s authority to conduct oversight. They instructed witnesses to arrange interviews by May 29 to avoid being subpoenaed.
- This action signals intensified congressional oversight of online political donations, emphasizing legal protections against foreign interference and potential interstate criminal conduct tied to fraudulent fundraising.
