Actblue will be investigated for money laundering in Virginia, Missouri and Wyoming
ActBlue, the leftwing PAC and fundraising platform, is to be investigated for money laundering by the state Attorneys General of Virginia and Missouri, and the Wyoming Secretary of State.
The investigations were announced on Thursday and Friday and include accusations that hundreds of thousands of dollars of contributions were not made in a fraudulent manner. It has been suggested that fictional donors and dummy accounts were used, and that contributions were even made without the consent or awareness of donors.
“The citizens of the Commonwealth of Virginia deserve to know that nonprofit and political entities are financed in a legal manner and that entities operating in Virginia are legitimately and legally raising funds,” Virginia AG Jason Miyares stated.
Similar statements were issued by Missouri AG Andrew Bailey and Wyoming Secretary of State Chuck Gray.
“The widespread allegations against ActBlue are deeply troubling, and we must ensure that political action committees are following the Wyoming Election Code,” said Secretary Gray in a statement.
“Claiming that a person donated to a PAC if that person never donated to that PAC would be a felony under Wyoming law. I am very concerned and remain committed to a thorough review of contributions to ensure compliance with Wyoming law.”
There has been renewed focus on ActBlue and Democrat fundraising thanks to James O’Keefe, of OMG Media and formerly of Project Veritas. Last week he released a major report on fundraising irregularities at Act Blue, including the case of Cindy Nowe, of Annapolis, Maryland, who was supposed to have contributed three times a day, every day, for an entire year to the organization.

The use of “campaign finance mules”—individuals making hundreds or even thousands of donations a year—was exposed by the Gateway Pundit in late 2022. Many of these mules are unemployed and clearly lack the means to make the kinds of payments, often totalling tens or even hundreds of thousands of dollars, that are linked to them.
Such patterns of suspicious donations have been discovered in multiple states, from Missouri to Michigan.
