President Donald Trump has ordered the Department of Justice, led by Attorney General Pam Bondi, to investigate ActBlue—Democrats’ main fundraising platform—over suspicious donations. The executive order demands a 180-day review into alleged “straw donations,” foreign money, and weak fraud protections. This move reinforces Trump’s promise to clean up election integrity and hold Democrats accountable.
ActBlue’s Flawed System Exposed
Republicans say ActBlue’s system is wide open to abuse. A House report revealed over 200 questionable overseas donations in just two months. ActBlue allegedly doesn't verify credit card CVVs and even discouraged staff from rejecting fraud concerns. These weak standards raise major red flags.
Democrats Panic, GOP Doubles Down
Democrats slammed the probe as political, but Trump’s allies say it's about restoring fairness. GOP leaders argue that while ActBlue rakes in small-dollar donations with zero safeguards, conservative platforms face strict scrutiny. The investigation now puts the spotlight on what Trump calls a rigged fundraising system.
