House panels subpoena ActBlue CEO for documents in probe

Three House committees on Tuesday subpoenaed ActBlue CEO Regina Wallace-Jones for documents in the panels' probe of the online fundraising platform used for Democratic campaigns.

The chairmen of the House committees on Administration, Judiciary, and Oversight and Government Reform sent the subpoena on Tuesday, requesting Wallace-Jones provide the documents by Aug. 12.

"In light of allegations that online fundraising platforms that serve as conduits for political donations have accepted fraudulent donations from domestic and foreign sources, the Committees are conducting oversight to inform potential legislative reforms," the chairmen wrote.

"To further our oversight and legislative reform efforts, on April 2, 2025, the Committees requested documents and communications related to internal misconduct and whistleblower retaliation at ActBlue. Although ActBlue initially provided documents voluntarily, it has since suspended its cooperation with the Committees. Therefore, the Committee on House Administration must resort to compulsory process to obtain the requested materials."

After initially handing over documents to the committees, ActBlue informed the panels last month "that it would not make further voluntary productions until the Committees provided 'more information' about our oversight," according to the chairmen.

"ActBlue did not provide a legitimate legal basis for refusing future cooperation with the Committees, and instead made baseless and untrue allegations about the Committees’ motives."

ActBlue told Just the News in a statement on Tuesday regarding the subpoena: “Today’s action by Republican politicians in the Congressional Committees is the latest act of political theater by the party that just passed legislation that has gutted Medicaid, prioritized billionaires over the middle class, and that will lead to disastrous results for our country.

“ActBlue’s dedicated team sees this for what it is: a campaign aimed at silencing dissent and destroying our democratic process. ActBlue remains steadfast in our mission to empower grassroots donors and support Democratic candidates at every level. As the critical 2026 midterms approach, we fully expect these Committees to manufacture more PR stunts in an attempt to deter and confuse voters.”
