Three House committees leading a probe into ActBlue argued in a letter Tuesday that the liberal online fund-raising firm obstructed their investigation, misled Congress, and failed to comply with lawfully issued subpoenas seeking to investigate lax security practices for donations.
The letter comes after House Judiciary Committee Chair Jim Jordan, House Oversight Chair James Comer and House Administration Chair Bryan Steil, vowed last week to continue their probe into the company after new reports that indicated ActBlue may have misled Congress in its testimony.
The lawmakers also raised concerns about the fundraising giant’s failure to turn over responsive documents to its subpoenas, especially those about the platform’s vulnerability to be used for illicit foreign donations to U.S. election campaigns, according to the letter obtained by Just the News.
“Recent reporting by the New York Times confirms our initial findings and strongly suggests that ActBlue deliberately obstructed the Committees’ investigation, including through misleading statements and noncompliance with our subpoenas,” the chairmen wrote to ActBlue’s CEO Regina Wallace-Jones.
