Last July, House Republicans subpoenaed ActBlue for documents and communications after a previous <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/03\/05\/us\/politics\/actblue-democrat-fundraising-resignations.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">report<\/a><em> <\/em>on an exodus of staff from the company.<\/p>\n<p>ActBlue said in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.actblue.com\/posts\/the-unfiltered-truth\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">statement<\/a> in early April that Wallace-Jones &#8220;never made false statements to Congress&#8221; and that the company &#8220;remains stable and stronger than ever.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>A House Republican aide told CBS News that all options are on the table to compel the production of documents \u2014 including potentially voting to hold Wallace-Jones in contempt of Congress. It&#8217;s a federal misdemeanor for those who &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.congress.gov\/crs_external_products\/LSB\/PDF\/LSB10974\/LSB10974.1.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">willfully<\/a>&#8221; fail to comply with a subpoena, and cases are enforced by the Justice Department.<\/p>\n<p>The letter said the committees &#8220;are prepared to use available mechanisms to enforce our subpoenas.&#8221;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>CBS News has reached out to ActBlue for comment.<\/p>\n<p>With Republicans in control of Congress and the White House, there is heightened scrutiny of how Democrats process donations in elections. WinRed is the software used by many Republicans to process donations.<\/p>\n<p>Last April, President Trump directed the Department of Justice <a href=\"https:\/\/www.whitehouse.gov\/presidential-actions\/2025\/04\/investigation-into-unlawful-straw-donor-and-foreign-contributions-in-american-elections\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">to investigate<\/a> &#8220;extremely troubling evidence that online fundraising platforms have been willing participants in schemes to launder excessive and prohibited contributions to political candidates and committees.&#8221; The executive order focused on what it called &#8220;unlawful &#8216;straw donor&#8217; and foreign contributions in American elections.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Steil, Jordan and Comer asked Wallace-Jones on Tuesday for documents and messages on its policies to prevent political donations by foreign nationals, as well as on the &#8220;potential or actual use of ActBlue by foreign nationals to make political contributions.&#8221;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The letter asked for compliance with the subpoenas and new document requests within two weeks.<\/p>\n<section
