众议院共和党人要求民主党顶级竞选筹款机构ActBlue提交国际通信记录,调查该组织是否故意误导议员并规避传票,以掩盖其在筛选非法海外捐款流程中的漏洞。

众议院行政委员会主席布莱恩·斯泰尔(R-Wis.)、众议院司法委员会主席吉姆·乔丹(R-Ohio)以及众议院监督委员会主席詹姆斯·科默(R-Ky.)周二在一封公开信中共同提出了上述要求。

“一年多来,我们委员会一直在监督ActBlue‘对欺诈预防极其不认真的态度’,”信中写道。

“近期报道……强烈表明ActBlue故意阻挠我们委员会的调查,包括通过误导性陈述和不遵守我们的传票。”

这封信是写给ActBlue首席执行官兼总裁雷吉娜·华莱士-琼斯的,也是2023年开始的调查的最新进展,当时共和党最初就外国捐款可能影响美国选举的问题提出了担忧。

这封信的发布也恰逢《纽约时报》报道了一份来自考文顿与伯林律师事务所的备忘录,该备忘录警告称,其筛查机制存在漏洞,可能给ActBlue带来“重大风险”。

这份备忘录本身并未暗示存在不当行为,也未表明ActBlue接受了国际捐款。即便如此,这篇报道还是引起了国会共和党人的注意。

斯泰尔、乔丹和科默共同要求ActBlue提交两份内部文件,以调查该组织对自身漏洞的内部认知。

第一份是总法律顾问亚伦·廷的辞职信,共和党人称该文件涉及ActBlue捐款安全问题引发的法律责任。

共和党人认为第二份文件是ActBlue前法律顾问扎因·艾哈迈德发来的信息,内容涉及一起被忽视的针对上述操作的举报人投诉。

共和党人此前曾要求过这些文件,但一直没有收到。

“有充分理由相信,ActBlue可能故意扣留了这些相关材料,以阻碍我们的调查,”信中称。

就ActBlue自身而言,该公司声称一直在尽一切努力确保其筹款活动符合法律要求。

在ActBlue2023年11月发布的一封信中,华莱士-琼斯首席执行官确认该组织对其筹款活动保持着最高标准的审查。

“我们的方法是多层次的,在整个捐款流程中都会进行核查和确认,以验证捐款人及其信息,”华莱士-琼斯写道。

“这些措施包括合规措施、技术工具和人工审核,有助于确认捐款人身份、排查潜在的外国捐款,并保护捐款人免受金融诈骗。”

共和党议员给ActBlue两周时间提交所要求的文件,最后期限定在2026年4月28日。

“如果不采取这些措施,我们委员会准备动用现有机制强制执行我们的传票,”信中写道。

House Republicans are demanding ActBlue, a top Democratic campaign fundraising apparatus, turn over international communications, probing whether the organization knowingly misled lawmakers and dodged subpoenas to hide weaknesses in its screening process to weed out illegal, overseas donations.

House Administration Committee Chairman Bryan Steil, R-Wis., House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, and House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., collectively laid out their demands in a letter published on Tuesday.

“For more than a year, the Committees have conducted oversight regarding ActBlue’s ‘fundamentally unserious approach to fraud prevention,’” the letter reads.

“Recent reporting … strongly suggests that ActBlue deliberately obstructed the Committees’ investigation, including through misleading statements and noncompliance with our subpoenas.”

The letter is addressed to Regina Wallace-Jones, the CEO and president of ActBlue, and is the most recent entry in investigations that began in 2023 when Republicans originally raised concerns about foreign donations possibly influencing American elections.

It also follows New York Times reporting on a memo from Covington & Burling, a law firm, warning that gaps in its screening armor could present “a substantial risk for ActBlue.”

The memo, on its own, does not implicate wrongdoing or indicate that ActBlue accepted international donations. Even so, the reporting caught the eye of Republicans in Congress.

Steil, Jordan and Comer are collectively asking ActBlue to produce two internal documents to examine the internal understanding ActBlue may have had about its own weaknesses.

The first is a resignation letter from General Counsel Aaron Ting — a document Republicans contend centers on liabilities created by ActBlue’s donation security.

Republicans believe the second, a message from ActBlue’s former legal counsel Zain Ahmad, relates to an ignored whistleblower complaint about those practices.

Republicans have already requested those documents before, but haven’t received them.

“There is considerable reason to believe that ActBlue may have deliberately withheld this responsive material to impede our investigation,” the letter states.

For its own part, ActBlue has claimed it makes every effort to ensure its fundraising complies with legal requirements.

In ActBlue’s own letter published in Nov. 2023, Wallace-Jones, the CEO, affirmed that the organization maintained the highest standards for scrutiny of its fundraising.

“Our approach is multilayered, with checks and confirmations occurring throughout the donation process to verify donors and donor information,” Wallace-Jones wrote.

“These measures, which include compliance measures, technological tools, and manual reviews, help to ensure the identity of donors, root out potential foreign contributions, and protect donors from financial fraud.”

Republican lawmakers have given ActBlue two weeks to produce the requested documentation, setting a deadline for April 28, 2026.

“Absent these steps, the Committees are prepared to use available mechanisms to enforce our subpoenas,” the letter reads.
