The hammer is about to drop on Act Blue, the Democrats’ golden goose of fundraising, as House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY) teams up with the FBI to expose what could be the biggest money-laundering scandal in American political history.
In an explosive interview with Benny Johnson, Comer laid out a damning case against the far-left fundraising juggernaut, accusing it of funneling billions in suspicious cash—potentially from foreign adversaries—into Democrat coffers under the guise of “grassroots” donations.
“We’re investigating ActBlue the same way we investigated the Bidens,” Comer said. “We’re starting with the suspicious activity reports—bank violations that flag financial crimes. And let me tell you, the evidence is overwhelming.”
As Comer’s investigation progresses, chaos is unfolding inside ActBlue. Key executives are resigning. Lawyers are jumping ship. Employees are getting locked out of their computers, sending frantic messages about whistleblowers.
Benny Johnson, conservative commentator and host, nailed the urgency of the situation: “When the lawyers flee, you know you’re cooked.”
Comer confirmed the exodus: “These people know what’s coming. If ActBlue was innocent, they’d be out there defending themselves, calling me a conspiracy theorist. Instead, they’re running for the hills.”
The chairman detailed how his committee began investigating ActBlue after discovering a flood of small-dollar donations from untraceable sources, many from elderly Americans who were unaware their names were being used to funnel cash into the Democrat machine.
And now, it looks like the walls are closing in. ActBlue is imploding as executives flee, lawyers quit, and insiders start turning on each other.

Benny Johnson:
Chairman Comer, I got to tell you, man, this thing is just rotten. It’s just rotten. I don’t know if we have the direct evidence just yet, but man, you sure can put the pieces together and say that ActBlue must be one of the largest money-laundering organs this side of the Biden family.James Comer:
And that’s exactly how we’re going to investigate this—the same way we investigated the Bidens. We’re starting with the suspicious activity reports. These are the bank violations that, if anyone commits a financial crime, the banks will catch it.I come from a banking background, and I can tell you there are extensive security measures in place. Banks have auditors, compliance officers, and bank examiners. They catch suspicious activity, especially if it’s on a large scale with numerous transactions.
So what I tried to do back last summer was request the suspicious activity reports from Janet Yellen in the Biden administration. They would not reply to my request. We knew that ActBlue was processing a ridiculous amount of money.
Heck, my opponent—whom I beat by 50 points—raised several hundred thousand dollars on ActBlue, despite having zero chance of winning. If you ranked the races from 1 to 435, hers wouldn’t even be in the top 400 in terms of competitiveness. Yet she was still getting all these mysterious donations. You had House candidates whose campaign budgets were 80% funded by anonymous small donors on ActBlue.
James Comer:
So we smelled something. Obviously, it came out—what Rubio said—that they weren’t using the code on the back of credit cards, which allowed for fraud. It just didn’t make sense. Like the woman in that clip—she had $180,000 worth of donations.We requested these violations, and they wouldn’t give them to us. After the election, Janet Yellen let a few of my staffers go in there. They saw that, yes, there were several hundred suspicious activity reports from various banks. We got to look at 12 of them. I can tell you, they were bad. They were exactly what we suspected.
We requested to see more, but they cut us off. Obviously, they were involved in the transition and all that. Now, we’ve got a new Treasury Secretary. We’re supposed to go in there next week or so to examine them all. But from what we’ve already seen—from media reports and the few bank violations we’ve reviewed—many of our worst theories regarding ActBlue are going to be confirmed.
That’s why so many people are hitting the exits at ActBlue right now.
Benny Johnson:
Really? It’s your investigation that’s causing this panic? Because I’ve seen ActBlue operate for decades, and I’ve never seen anything like this. Everyone’s leaving. The entire leadership is gone. The lawyers are fleeing.Listen, man, when the lawyers are fleeing, getting locked out of their computers, and sending threatening messages about whistleblowers—you’re cooked, right?
James Comer:
You are. And I’m going to tell you my theory on this.When you showed that clip of MSNBC saying, “Oh, within five hours, we’ve raised $27 million. What a movement!”—you know what? This goes back to the Biden investigation. The people protecting Biden colluded with the mainstream media. They fed them exactly what to say, exactly what to print.
The headlines would come out any time we were about to do a deposition. And lo and behold, from The New York Times to MSNBC, they would all have the exact same talking points. Word for word. Every time, they’d say, “No evidence. The deposition was a failure,” even before we swore the witness in.
And now, they’re colluding again, this time saying, “Oh, my gosh! Every Democrat in the United States is sitting at home, making numerous $100 donations to Kamala Harris and all the Democrats running in the purple seats across America!”
When the media all comes out at the same time, pushing the same talking points—that’s collusion.
James Comer:
Whoever’s behind the curtain—whoever was calling the shots at the White House—whoever was colluding with the media to misinform their viewers about ActBlue or the Bidens’ finances—that’s where the money is going to come from.And I think we know some familiar names that will be at the root of this when it’s all said and done.
Benny Johnson:
So what you’re alleging here, Mr. Chairman, is that this is the largest money-laundering scam in the history of American politics?James Comer:
Well, it could be. But I will tell you—it doesn’t make sense.We’ve been requesting information from ActBlue for months now. If they were innocent, they’d be going on TV, trashing me. They’d be calling me a conspiracy theorist—just like they did during the Biden investigation.
But they’re not saying anything. They’re leaving. Their lawyers are leaving. And when the lawyers leave, that’s a pretty good sign that something bad is going on.
Benny Johnson:
We don’t need to speculate—we have the receipts.Let me read just one example. Kerry Alberti—not trying to pick on this sweet 80-year-old woman from Richmond, Virginia. She lives in a rent-controlled apartment, $2,000 a month. A humble place.
She’s surely on Social Security, not living large. Yet, in the last 500 days, she’s made 22,619 donations—totaling $800,397. That’s nearly a million dollars donated by this little old lady on a fixed income.
How is that possible?
James Comer:
Well, she’d have to have a pretty big credit card limit to do that.Whether it’s through a credit card or a wire transfer to ActBlue, it all starts at a bank. And that’s the key to money laundering—it has to go through a bank.
If one bank—or multiple banks—are seeing this kind of suspicious activity, they will flag it. If her usual credit card bill is $350 a month, but suddenly she’s putting $15,000 a month in ActBlue donations, the banks will notice.
All that information is sitting in the Treasury. And you might ask, “Why is it in the Treasury?” Well, the FBI should be looking into it. There could have been an investigation started long before the Trump administration.
But at the end of the day, I think what you’re going to see here is that there was a cover-up—just like what we found with the Bidens.
James Comer:
It wasn’t just Biden’s crimes—it was the government cover-up.With ActBlue, federal agencies knew this money was being laundered. It’s not humanly possible to raise that much money. There aren’t enough Democrats in America to make that many small-dollar donations adding up to billions of dollars.
It’s not possible.
Benny Johnson:
Even polling shows that over decades, the left is not a generous group. They like to say they’re generous, but they aren’t. Conservatives are twice as likely to donate—probably because they’re more successful and have extra capital.But what you’re alleging, Mr. Chairman, is that the corporate media creates a fake story about an overwhelming grassroots movement to give cover for a massive money-laundering operation—potentially involving foreign entities like China or Iran.
Am I getting this right?
James Comer:
Yes, and because they didn’t require that credit card code Marco Rubio mentioned, it made it easier to do.What you’ll see is: the Biden administration didn’t cooperate with our investigation before the election. They stalled, and now that we’re in a new administration, we’re going to dig deeper.
And if ActBlue goes down—if people go to prison—if there are frog marches for ActBlue executives—the Democrat Party is finished.
Benny Johnson:
They’ll have to rebuild from the ashes. If ActBlue collapses, the Democrats have no party left.James Comer:
Exactly. ActBlue is their financial lifeline. Without it, it’s over.
