ActBlue Staff Invoke Fifth in House Donor-Fraud Inquiry (146 Times)
TL;DR Summary
ActBlue employees invoked the Fifth Amendment at least 146 times in depositions with House committees probing donor fraud on the platform, with several officials and former lawyers declining to answer substantive questions. The interim report faults testimony evasions, cites alleged gaps in fraud-prevention for foreign donations since 2020, and suggests withheld materials and potential misleading statements to Congress. ActBlue denies wrongdoing, while the probe widens, and Texas AG Paxton has sued ActBlue based on the committees’ findings.
