ActBlue Presents Billions in Donation Records to Congress in GOP Foreign-Funding Probe

Summary
ActBlue’s law firm met congressional investigators Friday and submitted a review of the platform’s donation history, arguing it properly verified contribution sources and did not mislead lawmakers.
The presentation is ActBlue’s latest push to rebut years of Republican scrutiny over whether the Democratic fundraising platform inadequately screened foreign donations.
Billions of dollars in campaign contributions have flowed through ActBlue for Democratic candidates and causes, making the probe politically significant even as the group tries to clear its name.
The new evidence is unlikely to end the investigation quickly, leaving a major Democratic fundraising channel under continuing congressional pressure.
