President Donald Trump signed an executive memorandum aimed at investigating ActBlue, the leading Democratic fundraising platform. The memorandum directs Attorney General Pam Bondi to “investigate allegations regarding the unlawful use of online fundraising platforms to make 'straw' or 'dummy' contributions or foreign contributions to political candidates and committees" and names ActBlue as an online fundraising platform being used "to improperly influence American elections." ActBlue said it adheres to all state and federal laws and plans to fight Trump's directive in court. |
