Democrat ActBlue CEO Invokes Fifth Amendment Over 20 Times in House Hearing

ActBlue accepted foreign money and donations under fake names.

They knew about it and failed to stop it.

And when asked about it, they all took the 5th.

ActBlue is the Democratic Party political action committee, its largest fundraising platform founded in 2004. ActBlue is a major part of the Democratic Party’s fundraising infrastructure. As of 2025, ActBlue reports that it has raised $16 billion for Democratic candidates and causes since it was established.How much of their largesse is dirty money, laundered money?

ActBlue CEO invokes 5th Amendment during House Committee hearing

By: Just The News, June 11, 2026:

Q:”In November 2023, when you wrote that letter, did every ActBlue donation that provided an address outside the United States require passport information?”

A: “I respectfully decline to answer the question pursuant to my Fifth Amendment rights under the Constitution.”

Rep. Bryan Steil pressed ActBlue CEO Regina Wallace-Jones on whether the digital platform consistently required foreign passport documentation to verify the identities of donors listing addresses outside the United States.

HOLY SMOKES. ActBlue just PLED THE 5TH and REFUSED to answer about getting foreign donations infiltrating US politics on behalf of Democrats

She wouldn’t even refute getting RUSSIAN money!

ActBlue is a FRAUD group. Shut it down!

ActBlue CEO pleads the Fifth in House hearing on alleged foreign donations

By: Ashleigh Fields, The Hill, June 11, 2026:

ActBlue CEO Regina Wallace-Jones on Wednesday refused to answer questions during her testimony before the House Administration Committee regarding allegations of the organization funneling foreign campaign donations to Democratic candidates in federal elections, asserting her Fifth Amendment right.

Wallace-Jones vowed not to answer any questions during the hearing in an earlier op-ed published by The Washington Post. She held firm to her pledge on Wednesday, refusing to answer even a question about her name from Rep. Barry Loudermilk (R-Ga.).

“Invoking the Fifth Amendment is not an admission, or even an insinuation, of guilt. It is not a retreat,” Wallace-Jones argued in the op-ed, continuing “it is the only reasonable response to a proceeding that from the beginning has been about harassing a political opponent’s fundraising platform, not genuine oversight.”

The ActBlue CEO and other Democrats have called the probe into foreign campaign donations an attempt at political retribution and urged lawmakers to investigate contributions to the WinRed, the Republican fundraising platform.

The Democratic ranking members of three House committees sent a letter to WinRed on Wednesday to request that CEO Ryan Lyk testify before their committees regarding potential illegal contributions made through the platform.

Despite this, on Wednesday, Wallace-Jones argued that lawmakers were overstepping their constitutional role with their probe.

“Congress has no constitutional authority to conduct criminal investigations. The Supreme Court has repeatedly made clear that this role belongs to the executive branch,” Wallace-Jones wrote.

“When a congressional committee works with the Justice Department to target a political adversary, it is not legislating. It has crossed a red line that was drawn into the Constitution for a reason,” she added.

Her comments come as the Democrats’ fundraising organization faces an April lawsuit from Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton (R) aiming to block ActBlue from allowing contributions through gift cards and prepaid debit cards on the platform.

ActBlue countersued in May asking a judge to stop Paxton from pursuing what it described as “retaliatory actions” that violate the First Amendment’s free speech protections.

“I lead an organization that processed $3.5 billion in contributions in 2024, with an average donation amount of $50 or less — many from first-time donors who simply wanted a voice,” Wallace-Jones wrote in the op-ed.
