Chairmen Jordan, Steil, and Comer Statement on Reports ActBlue May Have Misled Congress
WASHINGTON - Today, House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH), House Administration Committee Chairman Bryan Steil (R-WI), and House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY) issued the following statement after reporting alleged ActBlue may have misled Congress on how it vets foreign donations:
"Our investigation found ActBlue's internal fraud prevention measures were wholly insufficient for preventing illegal foreign campaign donations. Today's reporting reconfirms that finding and raises serious questions about whether ActBlue's CEO intentionally misled Congress at the onset of this investigation," said the Chairmen. "We will continue our investigation and keep all options on the table as we seek the truth."
Background:
On December 9, 2024, Chairmen Jordan and Steil sent a letterto Sift, the company that provides "fraud detection and prevention services" for ActBlue, demanding information documents and communications related to Sift's efforts to deter fraudulent transactions on ActBlue.

The Committees also sent a letterto ActBlue requesting documents and transcribed interviews.
On June 25, 2025, the Committees issued two subpoenas to a current and a former ActBlue employee after they both failed to comply with the Committees' request for transcribed interviews.
