On Monday, The Gateway Pundit reported that Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton sued ActBlue, the Democrat fundraising platform, for “deceiving Americans by lying about its donation processes that allow fraudulent and foreign donations.” This was following an internal investigation that “prove[d] that ActBlue continues to process gift card donations” without proving identification of the donor.

The same day, the House Judiciary Committee deposed five employees after subpoenas were issued to two employees in June 2025 by Reps. Jim Jordan, Bryan Steil, and James Comer. The recent depositions included “top staff responsible for fraud prevention” and sought to “learn more about the platform’s acceptance of illegal donations – and the subsequent cover-up,” according to a post on X by the House Judiciary GOP.

The House Judiciary GOP account states that the five employees were asked 146 questions and that the ActBlue employees “refused to answer a single one, invoking their Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination every time.”

The House Judiciary GOP also disclosed for the first time that ActBlue’s entire legal and compliance team was either fired, quit, or went on extended leave in early 2025.

In March 2025, the New York Timesreportedthat “at least seven senior officials” had left the Democrat fundraising platform, noting in the article that Zain Ahmad “was the last remaining lawyer in the ActBlue general counsel’s office.” He was reportedly on leave and “his access to email and other internal platforms had been cut off” and the messages he had on Slack had been deleted.

Former General Counsel Darrin Hurwitz left ActBlue in November 2024, according to the post, and received a “generous severance package” while promising to “cooperate with ActBlue…in connection with any current or future investigation” – including the House Judiciary’s investigation.
