House GOP leaders support subpoena of ActBlue over donor verification concerns

The House Committee on Administration has subpoenaed ActBlue, a major Democratic fundraising platform, amid Republican concerns about its donor verification practices. GOP leaders claim the platform is vulnerable to foreign donations, particularly from countries like China and Iran. Committee Chair Bryan Steil and other Republicans argue that ActBlue's previous lack of card verification for donations raises security issues. They seek documents related to the platform's donor verification policies and potential foreign interference in U.S. elections. ActBlue has denied the allegations, stating it maintains strict security measures and compliance practices. The subpoena comes just days before the general election, heightening scrutiny over campaign finance practices.
