US EditionTrump targeted Democrats over questionable online fundraising. His campaign has similar issues
- Last month, President Donald Trump instructed the attorney general to look into online fundraising activities amid concerns about illegal donations from foreign sources.
- Trump’s investigation targets claims that foreign individuals and scammers employed complex tactics and fake accounts to channel banned donations into political campaigns.
- An Associated Press review found 1,600 contributions to Trump from foreign donors, some with unverifiable information or linked to suspicious addresses like a derelict building or a motel.
- ActBlue, Democrats’ main online fundraising platform, acknowledged over 200 potentially illicit donations from foreign IP addresses, raising fears an investigation could disrupt over $10 million in Democratic funding.
- Experts warn that while foreign money in elections is a legitimate concern, Trump’s own campaigns have accepted questionable donations, and targeting ActBlue could strategically harm his political opponents before the 2026 midterms.
