ActBlue, a prominent fundraising platform for Democratic and left-leaning causes, is under federal investigation for alleged money laundering, illegal foreign contributions, and concealing the original sources of donations. Established in 2004, ActBlue specializes in aggregating small-dollar donations and distributing them to Democratic candidates and causes nationwide.

Glen Morgan of “We the Governed” explained on “The John Curley Show” on KIRO Newsradio that ActBlue is under increased scrutiny, especially following seven high profile executive exits and allegations of suspicious transactions.

“The concern, of course, is that foreign countries and NGOs or government grants were illegally funneled through different organizations and then using people’s name against their knowledge and address,” Morgan explained.

‘We the Governed’ looked at the data

Morgan decided to check on some of the donations made through ActBlue out of Washington state.

“What we started to do about a year and a half ago is we started downloading their historic database every single day, and we were going to file some complaints. So one of the things we realized is that even the historic data, it just keeps radically changing by millions and millions of dollars, multiple times a day. And these are in cases that there should be nothing happening anymore. Those campaigns should be closed out,” Morgan explained.

He suspects “computers, algorithms probably, and maybe AI now were just radically changing the database so that there was no way for you to kind of file a complaint.”

“It’s a really shady operation, and the exposure right now is obviously generating more attention than it has been in the past,” Morgan explained.
