ActBlue has been investigated by the Chairman Bryan Steil committee for lax security procedures that could have allowed illegal foreign money to be funneled to American political campaigns.

The House Administration Committee chairman Brian Steil has said that he will send findings of his ongoing investigation into the progressive fundraising platform ActBlue, to the new Trump Justice Department.

Steil believes that if Pam Bondi is confirmed as Attorney General, she will be willing to investigate the Democratic fundraising powerhouse for allegations of failing to implement adequate security measures to prevent illegal foreign money from flowing into U.S. campaign.

Steil said on Thursday that once Pam Bondi is appointed as the new attorney general for the Trump administration, the United States Department of Justice will be able to investigate bad actors and hold those responsible accountable.

Steil’s Committee has investigated ActBlue for lax security procedures that could have allowed foreign entities, who are prohibited from doing so, to donate to U.S. campaigning.

In October, Steil and Wisconsin Senator Ron Johnson, a Republican colleague, wrote to Treasury Sec. Janet Yellen and FBI Director Christopher Wray, as well as Director of National Intelligence Avril haines, about their concerns that four U.S. enemies may have made donations through the platform.

In a letter dated on Thursday, the lawmakers addressed Yellen with an urgent concern about potential illicit election financing by foreign actors. “CHA has investigated claims that ActBlue may be used by foreign actors – primarily from Iran and Russia, but also Venezuela and China – to launder money illegally into U.S. campaign funds.

The investigation also revealed that “these actors may be exploiting current U.S. donors, by making straw donation without their knowledge.”

The lawmakers specifically demanded access to any Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs) related to money passing through the fundraising platform generated by any U.S. financial institution as part of their anti-money-laundering activities.

ActBlue acknowledged recently to Congress that its updated donor verification policy will automatically reject donations made with “foreign prepaid/gift/gift cards or domestic gift cards” that are “from high-risk/sanctioned/high-risk countries and have the greatest level of risk determined by Sift, its solution provider.”

Changes were made just three days after Steil, on Sept. 6, introduced the Secure Handling of Internet Electronic Donations Act (SHIELD), to keep foreign money out of online fundraising for political campaigns. Just the News reported that before the change Steil stated, donations made using foreign gift cards weren’t automatically rejected by ActBlue.

ActBlue has denied all wrongdoings and said that it fully cooperates with ongoing investigations.

ActBlue, which celebrated its 20th anniversary of business in June, said that “Democratic campaigns and progressive campaigns trust ActBlue for their two-decade track record of innovation.

Steil claims that the Justice Department is not interested in investigating what his committee has found so far.

He said that if they had been, they would have begun about four years earlier.
