Congress subpoenas two ActBlue officials to compel testimony in Democrat fundraising probe



Congress issued subpoenas Wednesday to compel testimony from two ActBlue witnesses, significantly escalating a probe into whether the massive online fund-raising platform allowed itself to be misused by foreigners to route improper donations to Democrats in the 2024 election.
 

The subpoenas issued by House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan, House Oversight Chairman James Comer and House Administration Chairman Bryan Steil require the two witnesses, former ActBlue Vice President of Customer Service Alyssa Twomey and a senior workflow specialist, to appear for testimony by July 15.

Both witnesses were offered a chance to voluntarily submit to transcribed interviews, but their lawyer declined, citing an ongoing U.S. Justice Department investigation into ActBlue, according to correspondence obtained by Just the News.

"The Committees’ investigation has a clear – and important – legislative purpose," a letter accompanying the subpoenas to the witnesses declared. "Congress has a specific interest in ensuring that bad actors, including foreign actors, cannot make fraudulent or illegal political donations through online fundraising platforms."
