Ken Paxton Demands an Investigation Into Act Blue

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has formally requested a criminal referral to the Biden Department of [In]Justice (DOJ) to initiate an investigation into ActBlue.

Paxton’s office uncovered a network of illicit activities involving straw donations [Campaign donations using false names and untraceable payment methods] funneled through ActBlue to influence American elections illegally.

The first time Sentinel heard of potential money laundering through Act Blue was when James O’Keefe went door-to-door researching the donations that seemed implausible, in March 2023.

Shadowy actors almost definitely exploit ActBlue’s platform to make large-scale illegal donations.

Since this became known, Act Blue has demanded CVV numbers on credit cards. It has changed nothing.
