ActBlue, the main campaign fundraising platform of the Democratic Party, has been charged with engaging in a "massive money laundering operation," by which contributions from major donors are being moved through hundreds of thousands of small donations made in the name of people who don't know they have donated. The allegations came in the wake of President Joe Biden announcing his intention to drop out of the presidential race. The latest report indicates that ActBlue has processed more than $100 million in donations online since the president made his announcement. This includes nearly $50 million in donations made during the first 24 hours after Vice President Kamala Harris launched her campaign.

Investigative journalist and O'Keefe Media Group founder James O'Keefe approached alleged donors with hundreds of thousands of contributions listed in their name, who knew nothing about them. Based on O'Keefe's investigation, money is being donated to Democrat campaigns by unwitting donors. "FEC [Federal Election Commission] data shows that some senior citizens across the U.S. have been donating thousands of times per year," O'Keefe revealed in a recently released video. "Some of these individuals' names and addresses are attached to over $200,000 in contributions. We went and knocked on a few of their doors to corroborate the data that we received from a group of citizen journalists called Election Watch from Maryland."

Trump campaign accusing Harris of violating campaign finance laws after it took over Biden war chest

Meanwhile, the campaign of former President Donald Trump recently filed a complaint with the FEC accusing Biden and Harris of violating campaign finance laws with the transfer of nearly $100 million in fundraising cash to her presidential campaign. As stated in the complaint, Harris is "seeking to perpetrate a $91.5 million dollar heist of Joe Biden's leftover campaign cash." Trump campaign general counsel David Warrington called the act a "brazen money grab that would constitute the single largest excessive contribution and biggest violation in the history of the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971, as amended." Warrington added that "Kamala Harris is in the process of committing the largest campaign finance violation in American history and she is using the Commission's own forms to do it." He went on to say that "the Commission must not and cannot sit idly by while one candidate takes nearly one hundred million dollars from the authorized committee of another, in violation of the Act and the will of the donors who gave the money in the first place." The complaint tags Biden, Harris and her campaign treasurer Keana Spencer for flagrantly violating the act by making and receiving an excessive contribution of almost $100 million, and for filing fraudulent forms with the Commission intending to repurpose one candidate's principal campaign committee for the use of another candidate. The complaint contends that if Harris were a candidate for something in 2024, federal law requires her to have filed a Statement of Candidacy and for her name to have appeared in the name of her authorized committee. However, Harris' name does not appear in the name of her supposed authorized committee, "Biden for President," and, until July 21, no Statement of Candidacy existed for the vice president. Then instead of filing her own Statement of Candidacy, Harris simply changed Biden's by replacing his name with hers. Under the FEC Act, there is no mechanism for an individual to end another person's federal candidacy by simply amending the other person's Form 2. Furthermore, in that alleged amended Form 2, Harris assigned "Biden for President" as her principal campaign committee and then renamed it. Changing a document submitted to a federal bureau is a federal violation. Follow Corruption.news for more news about election-related corruption in the United States.
