House Republicans Clash With ActBlue as Investigation Intensifies

House Republicans investigating the liberal fund-raising organization ActBlue have asked its chief executive to testify next month to explain how the group vets its donors, a significant escalation in public pressure on the Democratic Party’s biggest financial engine.

Hours after the Republican request on Thursday, ActBlue pushed back in a letter dismissing the inquiry as a “partisan attack on a political opponent at a pivotal moment in the electoral cycle.”

The Republicans’ request for testimony in a public hearing — and the response from ActBlue — represented a significant escalation between the two sides.

First, Representative Bryan Steil of Wisconsin, the chairman of the House Administration committee, asked Regina Wallace-Jones, the ActBlue chief executive, in a letter on Thursday to appear at a public hearing on May 19 to answer questions about the organization’s fraud prevention efforts.
