Speaking in an alarming and powerful video posted to social media, Rep. Andy Biggs (R-AZ), a stalwart MAGA Republican in Congress, sounded off on a locus of alleged Democrat corruption and demanded an investigation into it. That allegedly corrupt organization is ActBlue, which Republicans like Biggs contend acted in an extremely corrupt fashion and has “been used to skirt the integrity of federal campaign finance laws.”
In the video, which he posted in mid-March of this year, Rep. Biggs, who appeared to be walking through the halls of a Congressional office building as he spoke, explained that he had sent a letter to FBI Director Kash Patel in which he called on the FBI Director to investigate ActBlue and briefly explained what he alleged it did.
Beginning the March 13 video with a brief introduction as to what he was calling for in his letter, Rep. Biggs said, “Hello, Andy Biggs here from Arizona’s Fifth Congressional District. Today, I sent a letter to Kash Patel, Director of the FBI, to ask him to investigate ActBlue.”
Continuing, he explained what ActBlue is, noting that it is a massive fundraising platform that funnels billions of dollars in donations into the hands of Democratic politicians, Democratic Party officials, and various progressive causes. He said, “ActBlue is a fundraising platform that literally gives billions of dollars to progressive causes and to the Democratic Party.”
Getting into the allegations against the fundraising platform, Rep. Biggs gave one example that he portrayed as being representative of the allegations generally, saying, “Here’s the deal that’s been investigated. There’s a lawsuit right now, a civil lawsuit in Wisconsin, where a guy had his credit card basically charged over and over again.”
Building on that, the representative explained how that seems to be a recurrent issue with ActBlue, and as such, is the sort of fraudulent, corrupt behavior that needs to be investigated. He said, “And that’s what we’re seeing. There’s times where you get these crazy, repetitive charges that people haven’t given their authority, they have not never authorized.”
Concluding the video, the representative explained that the FBI needs to delve into what is going on and hold ActBlue accountable. He said, “So we need the bottom of it. Lots of allegations on it, and I think the FBI and under Kash Patel is the right agency to investigate, and that’s that’s where we sit right now.”

In his letter to Patel, Biggs said, in part, “In 2024, President Biden’s Treasury Department found hundreds of suspicious transactions with ActBlue reported by banks.” He added, “The U.S. House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform and the Committee on House Administration have been investigating these allegations of misconduct. But the previous Administration has stalled access to the necessary documents. This week, Oversight Chairman Comer and Administration Chairman Stiles have renewed their request with Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent.”
He further added, commenting on the allegations of fraud and the like, “It must be emphasized that these allegations, were they to prove true, would indicate a serious threat to the integrity of our elections, besides the victimization of American citizens.” He then explained, “The gravity of the allegations and their implications demand a thorough and vigorous investigation by the Federal Bureau of Investigation. We strongly urge an inquiry into ActBlue.”
