ActBlue’s woes not over as top Republican predicts potential DOJ charges over foreign cash controversy

House Administration Committee chairman Bryan Steil says his investigation into ActBlue will continue and that the Justice Department could bring charges if prosecutors believe they can prove a crime. The inquiry concerns allegations that weak donor checks allowed foreign money to reach Democratic campaigns, which ActBlue denies; the Justice Department has not publicly clarified the status of its investigation.

The article says ActBlue has introduced passport-based identity checks, while a recent report raised questions about whether its earlier system verified that passport numbers were valid. Ten senior figures at the company have invoked the Fifth Amendment in congressional interviews. President Donald Trump directed the attorney general to investigate in April 2025, and ActBlue said it paused donations from Americans abroad that year.
