House Republicans have formally requested Regina Wallace‑Jones to testify before the House Administration Committee on May 19. The motion follows a New York Times exposé that lawyers warned the platform might have misled Congress about its foreign‑donor vetting. The request signals a sharp uptick in GOP scrutiny of the Democratic Party’s fundraising engine.

Steil’s letter cites a 2023 letter from ActBlue that contained potentially inaccurate descriptions of its foreign‑donor screening. The letter also references a Covington & Burling memo warning that the document posed a substantial risk for ActBlue. The GOP inquiry follows last year’s subpoena that the firm had failed to fully comply with.

ActBlue and its board have denied wrongdoing, noting that less than 1 percent of 2024 contributions showed foreign‑origin flags. Republicans allege the platform obstructed investigations through misleading statements and non‑compliance with subpoenas. The demand for testimony follows a request last week for a flood of documents, which ActBlue must deliver by April 28.

The move underscores a broader GOP effort to probe the Democratic Party’s financial infrastructure, a strategy critics say amounts to a political witch‑hunt. With ActBlue’s 2024 fundraising surge eclipsing rivals, any regulatory hit could ripple across the party’s national and state campaigns. Congress must now decide whether to proceed with the hearing or let the matter close.
