WASHINGTON — The CEO of the largest Democratic fundraising platform pleaded the Fifth Amendment Wednesday rather than testify before Congress about allegations that her firm illegally funneled foreign donations to federal campaigns.
“On the advice of my counsel, I respectfully decline to answer this question pursuant to my Fifth Amendment rights under the Constitution,” ActBlue boss Regina Wallace-Jones said in response to the first question posed during the House hearing.
House Administration Committee Chairman Bryan Steil (R-Wis.) said in his opening remarks there was “significant concern that ActBlue may have allowed foreign donations on their platform, lied to Congress and withheld responsive documents from a congressional subpoena.”
“All three of those actions are illegal,” Steil declared.
The panel issued a subpoena compelling Wallace-Jones’ testimony after ActBlue lawyers indicated she wouldn’t answer questions on a voluntary basis.
Steil and other Republican committee chairmen looking into ActBlue have claimed that Wallace-Jones also misled Congress about the strength of fraud safeguards on its platform.
Nearly $2 billion of those funds flowed to Democrats during the 2024 election cycle, at the same time that internal records, later obtained by The Post, showed ActBlue made its fraud standards “more lenient.”
Comment:
This is a major scandal.
The Democrats are influence peddling to foreign entities.
If the Democrats win the House the will kill this investigation.
The ActBlue CEO Regina Wallace-Jones even took the 5th amendment when she was asked to verify her name lol
