House GOP Presses ActBlue Probe After 10 Witnesses Plead the Fifth

Summary
House Republicans said their ActBlue investigation is "far from over," with Oversight, Administration and Judiciary committees seeking more documents, testimony and additional depositions.
A new GOP report drove that push by alleging ActBlue accepted suspect foreign-linked donations and misled Congress about safeguards, including a passport check that Republicans say only counted characters rather than verifying against government records.
The report also cited internal messages that appeared to approve donations despite red flags such as Hong Kong IP addresses, Canada indicators and foreign-contribution concerns, though Fox News said those excerpts were not independently verified.
10 ActBlue employees and board members in closed-door depositions, along with CEO Regina Wallace-Jones at a public hearing, invoked the Fifth Amendment, limiting what investigators have obtained so far.
ActBlue denied wrongdoing, said a third-party forensic analysis undercut a central GOP claim, and signaled it will not return donations as Republicans urge Democrats to cut ties with the platform.
