Missouri Attorney General Launches Probe Into Democratic Fundraising Platform ActBlue

The attorney general says ActBlue accepted foreign donations and ignored warning signs, raising campaign finance concerns as the platform faces new scrutiny.

  • Missouri Attorney General Catherine Hanaway launched an investigation into ActBlue over alleged fraudulent and foreign campaign contributions, focusing on potential violations of the Missouri Merchandising Practices Act.
  • According to Hanaway, the U.S. House Committee on Administration referred findings to her office, prompting the state inquiry to extend to internal personnel matters including resignations, terminations, and whistleblower reports.
  • ActBlue processes nearly $1.8 billion in donations annually for nearly 23,000 Democratic candidates, yet officials suspect donations were funneled through prepaid cards to disguise donor identities and bypass verification protocols.
  • Hanaway issued a Civil Investigative Demand requiring ActBlue to surrender records by 10 a.m. on Oct. 8 to determine whether fraudulent contributions reached any Missouri political office or campaign.
  • An ActBlue spokesperson dismissed the allegations as a political stunt, stating, "This coordinated campaign against ActBlue isn't about the facts — it's about Republicans.
