Trump targets major Democratic donor platform ActBlue

President Trump signed a memo Thursday targeting ActBlue, a major Democratic Party donor platform, as part of an effort to investigate potential illegal campaign donations.

The memo directs Attorney General Pam Bondi to investigate allegations of straw donations and contributions made from foreigners, according to a White House official. Donations from foreign nationals are prohibited by the Federal Election Commission (FEC).

The memo specifically cites ActBlue, which serves as the primary fundraising platform for Democratic candidates. It alleges hundreds of donations were made to the platform over a 30-day period during the 2024 campaign from foreign IP addresses using prepaid cards.

'ActBlue strictly abides by all federal and state laws governing its activities.' 'We will always stand steadfast in defending the rights of all Americans to participate in our democracy and ActBlue will continue its mission undeterred and uninterrupted, providing a safe, secure fundraising platform for the millions of grassroots donors who rely on us,' ActBlue said.
