Rumors are building around ActBlue, a key fundraising platform for the Democrats. Users on social media noticed that Biden appointees are blocking congressional oversight, which indicates a coverup. Others noticed the organization’s long history of corruption. ActBlue has repeatedly used their money to fund other leftist causes such as Black Lives Matter.
The group is in serious trouble as workers flee amid an ongoing corruption scandal. Republican lawmakers have gone after the organization for money laundering, and charges are expected soon. This letter indicates that ActBlue may have allowed foreign nationals to contribute to US elections, a violation of the law. In addition, ex-employees alleged that executives have waged a campaign of harassment against their own staff.
One user on X posted on March 11, 2025, that “Biden’s Treasury Secretary stonewalled Congress refusing to release ActBlue information. Secretary Bessent releases the evidence, and the top seven executives at the company resign. Wonder what they’re worried about…” Other users chimed in with their own thoughts on the scandal.
Another reply explained how ActBlue passes their funds to other leftist groups. They said, “Whenever you click to donate to BLM, it takes you to ActBlue. That money is then dispersed & given to political campaigns for democrat candidates.. Every woke political movement out there does the exact same thing.”
ActBlue workers sent a letter to the board of directors warning of an “alarming pattern” of resignations. They said the trend was “eroding our confidence in the stability of the organization,” the New York Times reported.ActBlue spokeswoman Megan Hughes said, “Like many organizations, as we undergo some transition heading into this new election cycle, we are focused on ensuring we have a strong team in place.”
Comments on social media, addressed this angle as well. One reply read, “There’s been a big change at ActBlue. Seven top leaders have quit. This happened after important information was shared by Treasury Secretary Bessent. Before that, Congress was not given information about ActBlue that they asked for.”
Dozens of Republican lawmakers from the House Oversight Committee wrote a letter detailing their findings to Secretary of the Treasury Janet Yellen. “The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating reports of potentially fraudulent and illicit financial activity related to contributions to campaigns of candidates … by online fundraising platforms like ActBlue,” they wrote.

The committee explained how “ActBlue had not implemented standard procedures to guard against identity theft and fraud such as requiring a Card Verification Value (CVV) to process online transactions, until it received criticism for not doing so,” they also noted that a number of states have already started their own investigations into the fundraising giant.
“ActBlue is also being investigated by several states’ officials in relation to contributions allegedly made via the platform fraudulently without the reported contributor’s awareness,” the letter reads, “In Virginia, reports of contribution activity facilitated through the ActBlue platform included “some cases in which single donors made tens of thousands of separate donations worth hundreds of thousands of dollars.”
The lawmakers say that this is a clear violation of the law. They wrote, “Federal law prohibits contributions made in the name of another person, and for good reason,” the letter stated. “The Committee is concerned that failure to properly vet contributions made through online platforms may have allowed bad actors to more easily commit fraud to illegally exploit and violate federal campaign finance laws. These bad actors could include foreign nationals.”
