House panels request interview with former ActBlue associate general counsel amid investigation

Three House committees on Friday requested an interview with a former ActBlue associate general counsel amid the panels' investigation into the online fundraising platform used for Democratic campaigns.

In an email to Aaron Ting, ActBlue's former director and associate general counsel for product and privacy, the chairmen of the House committees on Administration, Judiciary, and Oversight and Government Reform said that he "may possess information vital to our oversight."

The committees are investigating whether ActBlue – an online, campaign-donation platform favored by Democrats – "allowed bad actors, including foreign actors, to exploit the company’s online platform to make fraudulent political donations," according to the email.

"Fraudulent political donations corrupt American elections and could amount to interstate criminal conduct," the committee heads wrote.

The panels asked Ting to sit for a transcribed interview with them since he "worked closely with ActBlue's fraud prevention team."

The email cites a report from The New York Times that found "amid allegations of 'internal retaliation,' at least seven senior staff members, including the Associate General Counsel, have resigned from ActBlue since February 21, 2025."

The committees identified Ting "as the former Associate General Counsel who left ActBlue during this period of extensive senior staff departures.

"Internal turmoil and mass resignations at ActBlue raise questions about ActBlue's ability to comply with ongoing legal requirements under federal election law," according to the email.

Ting is requested to respond to the email by Aug. 1 to schedule an interview with the committees.
