We were the first to report on the DNC Voter Mules reporting using ActBlue in 2022. On Thursday President Trump ordered an investigation into this corrupt DNC election activity.
In early December 2022, after the 2022 election we were the first to report on what we labeled “voter mules”. These were individuals who made sometimes thousands of donations to Democrat politicians across the country totally up to millions of fraudulent donations. “Preacher” Raphael Warnock received $24 million from hundreds of unemployed donors giving over 358,000 donations.
(The Internet Sleuth behind this effort was Chris Gleason.)
EXCLUSIVE: “Campaign Finance Mules” Identified in Georgia Senate Race – Democrat Raphael Warnock Received Over $24 Million from Hundreds of UNEMPLOYED Donors Giving Over 358,000 Donations
This was the tip of the iceberg. James O’Keefe visited some of these so-called doners and found out in numerous instances they were elderly unemployed individuals who had no idea there were donations to the DNC under their names.
What was found was the biggest illegal money laundering election operation in history.
On Thursday, President Trump ordered an investigation into the unlawful Voter Mule activity.
Here is President Trump’s Memorandum to the Secretary of the Treasury, Attorney General and Counsel to the President:
Investigation into Unlawful “Straw Donor” and Foreign Contributions in American Elections
Federal law (52 U.S.C. 30121 and 30122) strictly prohibits making political contributions in the name of another person, as well as contributions by foreign nationals.
Notwithstanding these laws designed to protect American democracy, press reports and investigations by congressional committees have generated extremely troubling evidence that online fundraising platforms have been willing participants in schemes to launder excessive and prohibited contributions to political candidates and committees.
Specifically, these reports raise concerns that malign actors are seeking to evade Federal source and amount limitations on political contributions by breaking down large contributions from one source into many smaller contributions, nominally attributed to numerous other individuals, potentially without the consent or even knowledge of the putative contributors. The reports also raise concerns that such “straw donations” are being made through “dummy” accounts, potentially using gift cards or prepaid credit cards to evade detection.
Further, there is evidence to suggest that foreign nationals are seeking to misuse online fundraising platforms to improperly influence American elections. A recent House of Representatives investigation revealed that a platform named ActBlue had in recent years detected at least 22 “significant fraud campaigns”, nearly half of which had a foreign nexus. During a 30-day window during the 2024 campaign, the platform detected 237 donations from foreign IP addresses using prepaid cards, indicating that this activity remains a pressing concern.
These activities undermine the integrity of our electoral process. Therefore, I direct the Attorney General, in consultation with the Secretary of the Treasury, to use all lawful authority, as necessary, to investigate allegations regarding the unlawful use of online fundraising platforms to make “straw” or “dummy” contributions or foreign contributions to political candidates and committees, and to take all appropriate actions to enforce the law.
I further direct the Attorney General to report back to me through the Counsel to the President within 180 days of the date of this memorandum on the results of the investigation.
This memorandum is not intended to, and does not, create any right or benefit, substantive or procedural, enforceable at law or in equity by any party against the United States, its departments, agencies, or entities, its officers, employees, or agents, or any other person.
