Three Republican-led House committees intensified their investigation into the Democratic fundraising platform ActBlue, sending a new letter to CEO Regina Wallace-Jones demanding documents allegedly withheld from an earlier subpoena. The action follows a recent New York Times report detailing internal legal warnings that the organization might have misled Congress in a 2023 letter regarding its vetting of foreign donations, which are generally illegal in federal races.

Chairmen Jim Jordan, James R. Comer, and Bryan Steil accused ActBlue of obstruction through misleading statements. The inquiry stems from concerns, previously pushed by President Trump, over whether non-U.S. citizens utilized the platform. ActBlue leadership vehemently denies wrongdoing, asserting the organization is not in crisis, even as it reported a $568 million first-quarter haul for Democratic causes in 2026.

The committees specifically requested internal correspondence, including a resignation letter from lawyer Aaron Ting and a Slack message from Zain Ahmad warning of retaliation against leadership. These demands target materials mentioned in the reporting that suggested ActBlue’s 2023 compliance explanations were potentially inaccurate, according to its former counsel, Covington & Burling.

Republicans established an April 28 deadline for compliance, warning they possess mechanisms to enforce the subpoenas if ActBlue fails to produce the requested records regarding foreign national contributions. Democrats continue to label the probes a political effort, contrasting it with the relative lack of scrutiny directed at the GOP processor, WinRed.
