ActBlue, the Democrat online fundraising
organization that Republican lawmakers have targeted as a money-laundering
operation, faces internal chaos after the recent departures of at least seven
senior officials, The New York Times reported.
Further,
a lawyer at the firm accused ActBlue executives of a retaliation campaign,
according to the Times report Wednesday.
It's
unclear what prompted the departures, which began on Feb. 21, according to the
report.
Two
unions representing ActBlue workers sent a letter to the company's board of
directors citing the "alarming pattern" of the departures, adding the
exits were "eroding our confidence in the stability of the
organization," the Times reported.
Among
the departures were customer service and partnerships directors that had been
with ActBlue for more than a decade; an associate general counsel, the
highest-ranking legal counsel; an assistant research director; human resources
director; and an engineer who had been with ActBlue for 16 years, the Times
reported.
"Like
many organizations, as we undergo some transition heading into this new
election cycle, we are focused on ensuring we have a strong team in
place," ActBlue spokeswoman Megan Hughes told the Times.
Amid
the departures, according to the Times, the last remaining lawyer in the
general counsel's office posted an internal message saying his access to email
and other platforms had been cut off. The lawyer is now on leave from the
organization, the Times reported.
"Please
be advised that we have Anti-Retaliation and Whistleblower Policies for a
reason," Zain Ahmad wrote in the message, according to the report.
ActBlue
months ago had attracted scrutiny from Republicans. House Speaker Mike
Johnson, R-La., told Newsmax two
days before the general election that an investigation was underway into
ActBlue.
"There's
evidence being gathered that apparently they're taking large checks, possibly
from people in other countries or adversarial nations, and they're breaking it
down into smaller dollar donations and sending it through that, almost like a
money-laundering operation. That's the allegation," Johnson said on
Nov. 3.
A
Republican watchdog in August claimed that
it found more than 60,000 potential discrepancies in donations made to the Biden-Harris presidential
campaigns. Fair Election Fund said it had contacted tens of thousands of
people named in a Federal Election Commission report as small-dollar donors who
didn't recall making donations.
Days
before November's election, Rep. Bryan Steil, R-Wis., chair of the Committee on
House Administration, issued a
subpoena to ActBlue, accusing the group as a front to launder money.
House investigators were
examining whether entities from Iran, Russia, Venezuela, and China may have
directed funds to support Democrat campaigns through ActBlue.
ActBlue,
through a law firm, responded to Republican inquiries with a three-page letter
on Feb. 6, to "provide an update regarding ActBlue's security, fraud
prevention measures and related procedures," according to the Times.
