According to allegations from investigative journalist James O’Keefe, there appears to be some very shady business going on regarding ActBlue, the political action committee and fundraising platform used to support left-leaning and Democratic nonprofits and politicians.

This comes as fundraising for Kamala Harris has reportedly skyrocketed since Joe Biden stepped aside and she was handed the Democratic presidential nomination.

O’Keefe has been posting updates and videos on his investigation into ActBlue throughout the month of August. In his reports, he has exposed multiple examples where enormous donation totals were attributed to certain individuals, who, when questioned, insisted they never donated anywhere near that amount to Democrat campaigns.

For example, one citizen journalist discovered by reviewing FEC records that one woman is recorded as having made 41 donations in one day.

In another example, ActBlue has listed a woman as making 1,600 donations totaling $13,000, including 53 transactions in a single day.

O’Keefe is voicing suspicion that a money laundering scheme may be underway, where foreign money is flowing in to Democrats under the guise of individual donations from American citizens.

O’Keefe posted a video on August 5 and explained:

JUST IN ON ACTBLUE money laundering: According to Federal Election Commission (FEC) data, Alberta Jones of Indiana allegedly contributed $1,900 to ActBlue between 2019 and 2024. When asked if she donated to ActBlue or “Friends of Bernie Sanders,” a Bernie Sanders PAC, Jones states, “Absolutely not.”

Jones provided O’Keefe Media Group with bank records proving she never donated to ActBlue and that her actual donations went to Donald Trump’s PACs instead.

If you’ve experienced similar issues and are passionate about exposing ActBlue, we urge you to investigate. We need evidence similar to what the Jones family provided: videos, testimonies, and bank statements proving false donations. Contact ActBlue at (617) 517-7600, reach out to us on Signal at (914) 315-9415, or DM us.

Here’s another, from August 7:

JUST IN ON ACT BLUE MONEY LAUNDERING: “No, there’s no way I had made all those,” says Barbara Staples of Spring, Texas, shocked to learn ActBlue listed her as making 1,600 donations totaling $13,000, including 53 transactions in a single day.

Gerda Henderson faced similar issues, with $33,000 in unauthorized donations over 484 days. Despite only approving a few dollars, she had to close her credit card due to fraudulent charges, stating that she “Stopped it all” and “Canceled it all out.” Unlike most other fundraising platforms, ActBlue does not require a CVV number on transactions. When asked if she approved all of the transactions, she replied “No.”

We contacted the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office for comment on whether they were conducting a criminal investigation. In response, they issued a statement saying, “It appears that both donors made voluntary contributions through ActBlue. One donor was reimbursed after contesting some of the charges, while the other cannot recall whether all or only some of the donations were authorized.”

Current Revolt reveals the Texas Office of Attorney General’s ActBlue investigation has been stalled since January by First Assistant Brent Webster, stating “Attorney General Ken Paxton isn’t fully aware of the investigation, as Webster has been withholding information and updates,” adding “We’ve been told Webster is withholding this information from AG Paxton to seek favor with the firm Singer works for as a sort of insurance policy for his next job when he leaves the Texas OAG.”

On August 8, O’Keefe announced that Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is getting involved:

BREAKING — ACTBLUE UPDATE: Ken Paxton, the Attorney General of Texas, has issued a statement about his ongoing ActBlue compliance investigation. This statement comes after OMG’s report of fraudulent ActBlue donations in the state of Texas.

“Today, the OAG issued a supplemental civil investigative demand to obtain additional information relevant to the latest allegations regarding ActBlue… ActBlue has cooperated with our ongoing investigation. They have changed their requirements to now include ‘CVV’ codes for donations on their platform.”

Here’s another jaw-dropping announcement, from August 12:

ActBlue Exposed: Texas Donors Shocked by Unauthorized Donations, AG’s Office Investigating

“I’m not rich. I don’t give that kind of money,” says Janice Bosco of Horseshoe Bay, TX, after discovering that ActBlue recorded 648 donations totaling around $16,000 in her name. Despite her disbelief, she hesitates to dispute the donations, not wanting to aid Republicans, stating “I don’t want to dispute ActBlue… If we’ve gotten by with that much money, I say hell yes,” further fueling concerns over the legitimacy of ActBlue’s fundraising practices.

Karen Roberton’s husband from Killeen, TX, was equally stunned when he learned of over $12,000 in donations to ActBlue attributed to his wife, spread across 600 transactions. “She’s given them some, but that’s it. Not $12,000,” he says, baffled by the discrepancy, only recalling small monthly contributions.

In Marble Falls, TX, Margaret Caylor’s husband was shocked to learn that over 5,000 donations, totaling around $136,000, were made in his wife’s name to ActBlue. When asked if she made the donations, he states, “Not that much money,” noting that while she has donated in the past, the figures documented are far beyond what they recall. “Laundering money maybe?” questions Caylor’s husband, referring to the integrity of ActBlue’s fundraising practices.

The Texas Attorney General’s Office, under First Assistant Brent Webster, is actively investigating ActBlue’s practices. Webster, who began the investigation, firmly states, “Any allegation that I have undercut our investigation into Act Blue is ludicrous, particularly given that I urged our office to initiate the investigation in the first place. I have dedicated substantial resources to this investigation, including some of our office’s most talented lawyers. This ongoing investigation has been very productive… We do not comment on the status of pending investigations, but we will make every effort to enforce Texas law when it is being violated, as we have consistently done during my time at the OAG.”

ActBlue has begun requiring CVV codes on credit card transactions—a change reportedly made during the ongoing investigation. However, many potential victims and investigators remain skeptical.

Another announcement, on August 16 provides more examples, along with the news that, in addition to Texas, attorneys general from Wyoming, Missouri, Virginia, and two other states are now involved in the investigation:

BREAKING: Donors Across the U.S. Deny Massive ActBlue Donations Amid Attorney General Investigations

“He did not do $300,000 worth of anything in three years,” exclaims Pam Fridrich, wife to Heinz Fridrich, when presented with FEC data by an OMG Citizen Journalist in Fernandina Beach, Florida, claiming the Fridrichs donated hundreds of thousands of dollars to ActBlue. When asked if they had made the contributions, Pam responds, “Not to my knowledge.” The Fridrich family, overwhelmed by the allegations, remains perplexed by how such large sums could be attributed to them.

Across the country, in Las Vegas, Nevada, Elaina Bulow, a devout Democrat, is reportedly linked to around 830 donations totaling roughly $111,000. Bulow, who regularly monitors her bank statements, was outraged when presented with the FEC data, stating bluntly, “What’s on that website is a lot of bullsh*t.” Despite being a frequent donor, Bulow denies contributing anything close to the reported amount, saying, “Not that much… Not $111,000.”

Similarly, Salt Lake City, Utah, resident Marilyn Shearer found her name tied to nearly 3,600 transactions totaling over $133,000. Shearer admits to donating regularly, stating, “I donate quite a bit, probably every day, which is frustrating.” Despite her frequency in donating, she is stunned by the transactions attributed to her name. When questioned about the possibility of donating upwards of $100,000, Shearer shook her head no in disbelief.

The ActBlue donation legitimacy issue is escalating, with attorney generals from Texas, Wyoming, Missouri, Virginia, and two anonymous states launching investigations into the organization’s questionable fundraising practices. #ActBlue #kamala #KamalaHarris #HarrisWalz #election #Election2024

On Wednesday, O’Keefe posted a couple photos of himself in disguise and teased, “Undercover at the DNC convention for two days. They had no idea. Full video drops tomorrow. Stay tuned. #DNCExposed.”

BREAKING: James O’Keefe Confronts ActBlue Staff at DNC Convention Over False Donations
O’Keefe Infiltrates ActBlue at DNC: “What is disinformation about the FEC?” questions James O’Keefe at the DNC convention, challenging Carolyn Schuette, ActBlue’s account manager, moments after revealing his undercover disguise and infiltrating ActBlue.

O’Keefe confronts Schuette about ActBlue’s recent public statement accusing Okeefe Media Group of spreading a “disinformation campaign.”

When O’Keefe questions why “the FEC website had hundreds of donations in the name of a specific person” who had never made the donations, Schuette responds, “That is all based in, out of, falsities,” adding that the claims are “not based” and suggesting that information about donations on the Federal Election Commission (FEC) website is false.

Schuette, recognizing O’Keefe, quickly flees when he questions her. O’Keefe presses further, asking, “Why did you lie and say your name wasn’t Carolyn?”

As O’Keefe pursues Schuette, Ezekiel Morris of Halo Security Group intervenes, accusing O’Keefe and OMG of harassment, saying, “You guys are following her around and harassing her.” O’Keefe responds by highlighting the gravity of the situation, stating, “There’s money laundering occurring on the FEC website… and we’re trying to get to the bottom of it.”

Despite the security intervention, O’Keefe persists at the DNC convention to confront ActBlue staff about the massive donations that individuals across the country testify they never made.

O’Keefe revealed that ACTBlue officials are now deleting their social media profiles:

Update on Friday, August 23:

In a recent interview with an O’Keefe Media Group Citizen Journalist, Geri Prado, former Chief Impact Officer at ActBlue, downplayed concerns about the organization’s suspicious fundraising practices. Prado attempted to brush off allegations by describing ActBlue merely as “a payment processor for campaigns, but it’s not a campaign,” and likened it to PayPal, citing credit card fees as a standard issue.

When asked about potential money laundering, Prado dismissed the concern, “No… It’s a very hard thing to do,” downplaying the likelihood of any illegal activity. However, she admits, “There are other problems,” hinting at other issues within the organization.

This comes amidst reports that Federal Election Commission (FEC) records are inaccurately reflecting senior citizens as having made donations far beyond their actual contributions.”

ACTBlue claims the investigation is a “disinformation” campaign:
