A nearly year-long investigation into ActBlue, a Democratic Party online donation platform, alleges a large number of suspicious donations have been made, resulting in Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton petitioning the Federal Election Commission to get involved.
On Monday, Paxton petitioned the FEC
EditSign to consider implementing new regulations to prevent straw donations from being made on online political fundraising platforms.
Since launching the investigation, Paxton said it’s been publicly reported that potentially fraudulent transactions have occurred on political committee online platforms.
