Three Key Takeaways:
- James Comer, Chairman of the House Oversight Committee, is investigating the Democrat fundraising platform ActBlue, uncovering potential fraud and money laundering activities that could have involved fake donations and credit card information.
- ActBlue’s lack of security measures, like requiring Card Verification Values (CVVs), has made it ripe for fraudulent contributions, leading to investigations by state attorneys general over questionable donations in others’ names.
- Comer has also uncovered records from the Treasury Department that show suspicious transactions linked to ActBlue, with hundreds of suspected money laundering cases, and is poised to reveal a major campaign finance scandal with the help of the Trump administration.
James Comer is ready to go on the offensive.
He’s found one secret that was supposed to be buried forever.
And James Comer will blow the lid off one scandal that will have Democrats ducking for cover.
Democrat fundraising platform
House Oversight Committee chairman James Comer (R-KY) is investigating the online Democrat fundraising powerhouse ActBlue.
Every Democrat political candidate from former Vice President Kamala Harris down to someone running for school board uses it to raise money for their campaigns.
Democrats go to the ActBlue website and enter their credit or debit card information.
Then they can make a contribution to a Democrat candidate or cause.
ActBlue is ripe for fraud because it didn’t ask for a Card Verification Value (CVV), the three-digit number on the back of a credit or debit card, until recently.
It lacked the typical safeguards to prevent identity fraud or stop donors from evading federal campaign finance contributions.
State Attorneys General have opened investigations into ActBlue over fraudulent campaign contributions made in other people’s names.
Comer explained the activity on the platform during an interview with One America News.
“What we believe is what’s been reported and suggested on a lot of conservative channels over the years, 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,” Comer explained.
Random Americans have had thousands of dollars in campaign contributions made in their name without their knowledge.
“We always suspected that there was an influx of cash coming in from other ways,” Comer added. “The way ActBlue set up their accounts, it would be very easy to launder money into there through fake credit card accounts, and fake names, and things like that.”
The Trump administration to hand over money laundering records
Comer uncovered that the Treasury Department has flagged hundreds of ActBlue transactions with Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs) for suspected money laundering under former President Joe Biden.
Hunter Biden had dozens of SARs filed on his bank transactions with shady foreign businesses.
The Biden Treasury Department wouldn’t turn those records over to the House Oversight Committee for its investigation.
Comer got a peek at some of them after the 2024 Election.
“Finally after the election, they confirmed that there were some, they allowed my staff to go in and view like 10 or 12. They were really bad,” Comer recalled.
The Trump Treasury Department will give him access to the ActBlue SARs.
“I can say on with confidence there are hundreds more and now with the new Trump administration we’re gonna be able to go in there and look at them,” Comer said. “I think we’ll be able to answer a lot of questions.”
Comer said it was a game-changer to have a friendly administration to work with.
“It’s a whole different ball game for me on the Oversight Committee,” Comer stated.
“The Trump administration actually responds to our request for information.”
“So the banks, by virtue of catching so many violations from so many different banks, which would suggest to me these were credit cards, I think that we’re gonna be able to find out where the source of a lot of this money was coming from,” Comer concluded.
James Comer is hot on the trail of what could be the biggest campaign finance scandal in decades.
