BREAKING: “I’m not rich. I don’t give that kind of money,” says Janice Bosco of Horseshoe Bay, TX, after discovering that ActBlue recorded 648 donations totaling $16,000 in her name. Despite her disbelief, she hesitates to dispute the donations, fearing it might aid Republicans, raising further concerns about ActBlue’s fundraising practices.
Karen Roberton’s husband from Killeen, TX, was equally stunned when he learned of over $12,000 in donations to ActBlue attributed to his wife, spread across 600 transactions. “She’s given them some, but that’s it,” he says, baffled by the discrepancy, only recalling small monthly contributions.
In Marble Falls, TX, Margaret Caylor’s husband was shocked to learn that over 5,000 donations, totaling around $136,000, were made in his wife’s name to ActBlue. When asked if she made the donations, he states, “Not that much money,” noting that while she has donated in the past, the figures documented are far beyond what they recall.
First Assistant Brent Webster of the Texas Attorney General’s Office, who initiated the investigation, states, “Any allegation that I have undercut our investigation into ActBlue is ludicrous… We will make every effort to enforce Texas law.”
ActBlue has started requiring CVV codes on credit card transactions amid the investigation, but skepticism remains.
O’Keefe Media Group’s ongoing investigation into ActBlue has uncovered revelations that bring to attention the integrity of one of the most prominent political fundraising platforms in the United States, ActBlue. As more citizens come forward with shocking discoveries about donations made in their names, the magnitude of this potential fraud grows more concerning.
Janice Bosco, a resident of Horseshoe Bay, Texas, was recently shocked to find that ActBlue had recorded 648 donations totaling nearly $16,000 under her name. “I’m not rich. I don’t give that kind of money,” Bosco says.
A Democrat and Kamala Harris supporter, Bosco is hesitant to dispute the donations, stating “I don’t want to dispute ActBlue… If we’ve gotten by with that much money, I say hell yes,” further fueling concerns over the legitimacy of ActBlue’s fundraising practices.
Karen Roberton’s husband from Killeen, Texas, shared a similar experience. When he discovered that ActBlue had processed over $12,000 in donations under his wife’s name, he was shocked. “She’s given them some, but that’s it. Not $12,000,” he remarks, trying to reconcile their small monthly contributions they remember making with the figures reported.
Margaret Caylor’s husband from Marble Falls, Texas, was also stunned to learn that over 5,000 donations, totaling $136,000, had been made in his wife’s name. “Not that much money,” he exclaims, emphasizing that while Margaret has been politically active, these figures are beyond what they would have authorized. “Laundering money maybe?” questions Caylor’s husband, referring to the integrity of ActBlue’s fundraising practices.
First Assistant Brent Webster of the Texas Attorney General’s Office has confirmed an ongoing investigation into ActBlue’s practices.
In response to recent allegations that he might have undermined the investigation, Webster firmly states, “Any allegation that I have undercut our investigation is ludicrous, especially since I urged our office to initiate it.”
He reassures the public that substantial resources, including some of the office’s top legal minds, are being dedicated to uncovering the truth. “We do not comment on the status of pending investigations, but we will make every effort to enforce Texas law when it is being violated,” Webster adds, underscoring the seriousness of the inquiry.
In response to the growing scrutiny, ActBlue has taken steps to address concerns, most notably by implementing a new requirement for CVV codes on all credit card transactions. This change is intended to prevent unauthorized donations and add an extra layer of security. However, for many of the victims, this move is seen as too little, too late. Skepticism remains high, with some questioning whether these measures will be enough to prevent further misuse of donor information and protect the integrity of the platform.
