President Donald Trump signed a presidential memorandum on Thursday to crack down on foreign straw donors in elections, instructing federal agencies to take action on concerns raised by Congress and chronicled by Just the News about the progressive online fundraising platform ActBlue, according to multiple officials.

The memo tasked the Justice Department to investigate and decide whether any criminal charges or lawsuits should be filed against ActBlue, which has admitted it did not follow common anti-fraud protections for much of the 2024 election even as it processed hundreds of millions of dollars for Democrat-affiliated campaigns and causes, including some from illicit foreign sources.

Based on your awareness of the progressive ActBlue fundraising platform, do you think a DOJ investigation of it is appropriate?
