There already have been a lot of suspicions expressed that the fundraising giant ActBlue, which has delivered billions of dollars to leftists in the Democrat party, has been stepping outside the law.
In fact, Rep. James Comer, R-Ky., the chief of the House Oversight Committee, already has confirmed that, "We're investigating ActBlue the same way we investigated the Bidens. … We're starting with the suspicious activity reports — bank violations that flag financial crimes. And let me tell you, the evidence is overwhelming."
There have been claims of money-laundering, massive piles of cash being funneled from overseas into Democrat campaigns, and more.
Now it looks like some answered could be coming.
A report at the Washington Examiner confirms President Donald Trump is signing a memorandum calling for a crackdown on "straw donors" and foreign money in American campaigns.
The publication said it obtained a fact sheet that instructs Attorney General Pam Bondi to investigate and "take appropriate action" on allegations about the organization, which even has been accused of taking contributions from terrorists.
Specifically the review is to cover illegal "straw" or "dummy" contributions, the report said.
It cites congressional investigations that documented "significant fraud schemes" involving ActBlue and donations made through the organization just ahead of the 2024 election that came "from foreign internet protocol addresses using prepaid cards" that could involve illegal behavior.
The payment processor is used by Democrats at multiple ranks and is credited with having processed more than $16 billion in donations to leftists.
It fell into disarray, however, this year, the report said, when the New York Times "reported on March 5 that at least seven senior staffers resigned in late February, including its top legal officer. The reason for the exodus is not yet known."
Republicans have charged that it accepted donations on credit cards without verification, raising the risk of fraud. And it allows contributions through PayPal, Google Pay, or Venmo, and other payments forms that cannot be traced.

Trump's fact sheet said he is "taking action to address malign actors and foreign nationals who seek to illegally influence American elections, undermining the integrity of our electoral process."
Several attorneys general from states also have begun investigating.
Earlier, the Gateway Pundit published a transcript of an interview with Benny Johnson in which Comer "laid out a damning case against the far-left fundraising juggernaut, accusing it of funneling billions in suspicious cash – potentially from foreign adversaries – into Democrat coffers under the guise of 'grassroots' donations."
The report said the investigation is being accompanied by "chaos" inside ActBlue, where "key executives are resigning, lawyers are jumping ship, employees are getting locked out of their computers…."
Johnson, a conservative commentator, pointed out, "When the lawyers flee, you know you're cooked."
Comer's committee actually started investigating "after discovering a flood of small-dollar donations from untraceable sources, many from elderly Americans who were unaware their names were being used to funnel cash into the Democrat machine," the report said.
Comer said his work had been obstructed under the Joe Biden administration by his appointee, Janet Yellen, who "would not reply to my request" for information about "suspicious activity reports."
One of those circumstances, evidence has shown, was an 80-year-old woman living in a rent-controlled apartment in Virginia who had made 22,619 donations in 500 days – totaling more than $800,000.
