Speaking to One America News and its “Fine Point” program late at night on Wednesday, March 12, Rep. James Comer (R-KY), United States House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, exposed Democrat donation network ActBlue, which fundraises for Democratic political races, as having engaged in massive fraud involving credit cards.
Commenting on the matter during his interview with the cable network, Rep. Comer noted that the Republicans had pressed the Treasury for details on whether the network had engaged in banking violations, which his committee had received reports of. He said, “We requested from [the] Treasury during the Biden administration to see whether or not there were bank violations called suspicious activity reports against ActBlue.”
Continuing, he explained that the Biden Treasury wouldn’t respond to the committee on what was going on until after the presidential election was over and President Trump had won. Making that point, he said, “Of course, they never would get back with us. Finally, after the election, they confirmed that there were some.”
He noted that now, finally, they are able to view everything that has been gathered on the matter, “They allowed my staff to go in and view like 10 or 12. They were really bad, but I can say on with COVID, there are hundreds more. And now with the new Trump administration, we’re going to be able to go in there and look at them. I think we’ll be able to answer a lot of questions.”
Responding, guest host of Fine Points Andrew H. Guiliani asked him if the Treasury has responded to his recent demands for information on ActBlue. Guiliani asked, “Yeah, hundreds more. That’s amazing to think about. Have you received a response to your letter last week to the Treasury Department?”
Rep. Comer told him that the Trump Administration is still getting itself sorted out, but is being hugely helpful. He said, “Yes, it’s a whole different ball game for me on the Oversight Committee the Trump administration actually responds to our request for information. Obviously, they’re new and getting their, you know, figuring out where the bathrooms are and trying to get a handle over everything.”
He continued, adding, “But I’m very confident that the Oversight Committee will be allowed in to view those suspicious activity reports, and the fact that there are so many shows that the banks were were suspicious of a lot of activity, and what we believe is what’s been reported and suggested on a lot of conservatives channels over the years. [That’s] that this money wasn’t actually coming from John Doe and Jane Doe sitting At Home donating $10 every week to every Democrat candidate running for every office in America.”

Explaining what he meant, Rep. Comer noted that massive corruption and fraud involving fake credit cards, names, and information had been used to illegally funnel money into ActBlue. He said, “We always suspected that that there was an influx of cash coming in from other ways in the way ActBlue set up their account, it would be very easy to launder money into there through fake credit card accounts and fake names and things like that.”
He then said, on that point, that the scale was massive, and that many different banks were involved in the illegal activity. He said, “So the banks, by virtue of cash in so many violations from so many different banks, which would suggest to me, These were, these were credit cards, I think that we’re going to be able to to find out where the source of a lot of this money was coming from.”
