WASHINGTON — President Trump signed a memo Thursday ordering a probe of any illicit “straw donors” or foreign funding that flowed into federal elections following claims that the largest Democratic fundraising platform accepted fraudulent contributions in 2024. The memo authorized Attorney General Pam Bondi to investigate whether ActBlue allowed “dummy” accounts or foreign nationals to donate to Democratic causes — as well as any other suspicious online contributions. “These activities undermine the integrity of our electoral process,” it stated, with the president mandating a report back from his AG in 180 days.
