My name is Essela, and I found suspicious donations made in your name through Act Blue totaling over $106,000 from 2020 to 2022. I suspect someone is using your identity for money laundering. You have also donated to various political causes. I can show you how to check this information yourself. From 2009 to 2019, you donated around $12,000, but the sudden increase in donations is concerning. Let me know if you want to see the details.

The video discusses potential fraudulent donations made through ActBlue. Victims express surprise at large donations made in their names. Some victims deny making such contributions, prompting an investigation by citizen journalists. The Texas Attorney General is involved, and ActBlue has changed its credit card requirements. Victims are urged to dispute fraudulent transactions with ActBlue. The video encourages providing evidence of excessive donations for publication and compensation. The focus is on uncovering and addressing potential wrongdoing related to ActBlue.

The speaker addresses the issue of illegal donations to politicians in Connecticut. They claim that ACT Blue, a fundraising platform, has raised $12 billion since 2004, with 39% of the donations coming from foreigners, which is illegal. They accuse ACT Blue of giving $700,000 per month to Senators Blumenthal and Murphy using false identities. The speaker also alleges that Connecticut voters registered in multiple states are making contributions to ACT Blue. They question why the Federal Election Commission (FEC) allows this and express frustration with the FEC's lack of response. The speaker mentions a $12,001,000,002 contribution milestone and provides information about small donors and fundraising on the ACT Blue website. They encourage contacting the FEC regarding the illegal contributions.

Six attorney generals are investigating ActBlue. Citizen journalists are assisting in the investigation, and video submissions are being collected. Citizen journalists obtained FEC data showing Heinz Friedrich in Florida apparently donated over 16,000 times, totaling almost $400,000, but he denies making those donations. A record shows multiple donations on the same day for the Friedrich family. The Wellness Company is introducing a first aid emergency kit, offering a 15% discount with code OMG. In Las Vegas, Nevada, Elena Burlow is shown in data to have made about $111,000 in donations over 6 years, but she doesn't believe she donated that much. She checks her bank statements for ActBlue charges. In Salt Lake City, Utah, Marilyn Shear has apparently made almost 3,600 transactions totaling $133,000. She says she donates quite a bit, but that amount doesn't sound correct. It is claimed that senior citizens are being targeted and that accounts are being set up in their names to launder money. The public is asked to contact ActBlue support at 617-517-7600 and record the call while sitting down with the unwitting donor. Redacted bank statements should be sent to tips dot o'keefemediagroup.com.

James O'Keefe has revealed that 60% of the ActBlue donations investigated are allegedly from China. This suggests that the Chinese Communist Party is financially supporting the Democratic Party and impacting American elections. There are calls for arrests and congressional hearings regarding this issue.

I discovered the source of how ineligible individuals are being added to voter rolls. It's an organization called the Electronic Registration Information Center (ERIC), led by David Becker, who has a controversial background. ERIC, funded by George Soros, contracts with states to access sensitive DMV records protected under privacy laws. Their membership agreement prevents disclosure of citizenship status, allowing them to add names to voter rolls without confirming eligibility. These names are then shared with the Center for Election Innovation and Research, which received significant funding from Zuckerbucks in 2020.

In politics, money raised is crucial. A group found suspicious donations to Democrats totaling over $200 million through ActBlue, mostly from older, liberal, lower-income individuals. Many donors seem unaware of these contributions made in their name, suggesting identity theft. Examples include a woman making 1400 donations in 7 years and another making 52,501 donations in 700 days. These irregularities raise concerns about potential election law violations and national security risks. Despite 52 complaints filed, Democrats are reluctant to investigate. The magnitude of these questionable donations far exceeds previous concerns over foreign influence, warranting a thorough investigation.

There were suspicious donations made in the name of the speaker, but they do not recognize them. The donations were made using their name and address for small amounts, but the speaker usually only donates around $75. They suspect someone else may be using their information for larger donations. The speaker wants a refund for the unauthorized donations and would have noticed if they were making such large contributions.

Speaker 0 informs Speaker 1 about numerous donations made in their name, but Speaker 1 denies making any donations. Speaker 2 explains that people are using Speaker 1's name and address to make donations, which is confusing. Speaker 1 expresses surprise and mentions their financial difficulties, making it unlikely for them to make large donations. Speaker 2 shows Speaker 1 a list of donations, including some for $500 and $250, which Speaker 1 confirms are not theirs. Speaker 1 agrees to get a refund for these donations and mentions changing their credit card recently. They emphasize that they would have noticed such large charges and would not be able to afford them.

Speaker 0 and Speaker 1 discuss a problem where someone is using their names to make donations. Speaker 0 mentions seeing over $3,000 being given multiple times a day. Speaker 1 doubts it's them since they are not in the state and believes the person doesn't know what they're doing. Speaker 0 reveals that the person has donated 1,640 times in the past two years, totaling $14,200. Speaker 2, who is being impersonated, finds this suspicious as they reduced their donations after the midterms. Speaker 0 suggests someone is using Speaker 2's name to donate small amounts, ranging from 60¢ to $738, multiple times a day. Speaker 2 denies making such donations and is concerned about the large total amount. They conclude that it must be someone else or a mistake.

FEC discovered suspicious donation patterns from unemployed individuals, with large sums donated through multiple transactions to ActBlue and Democrat campaigns. Investigator Tony Saruga found 400,000 new ActBlue accounts in 30 days. Harris campaign emails requested small donations using fear tactics, including fake names in their lists. The goal appears to be creating a facade of grassroots support while potentially funneling larger sums through these transactions.

Kamala Harris raised suspiciously large amounts of money in a short time, sparking concerns about fraudulent donations. An investigation revealed potential money laundering through ActBlue, a democratic fundraising platform. Ordinary citizens' names and addresses were used for large donations they did not make. The source of the money remains unclear, but past reports suggest further scrutiny is needed.

In 2022, you donated 1,100 times totaling $13,150.84. In 2021, it was 715 times for $6,957.90. And in 2020, 839 times for $6,983.10. From 2016 to 2022, the total was $29,107. The speaker denies being able to donate that much due to being on social security and not using the internet much.

Discoveries on fec.gov revealed suspicious donation patterns from supposedly unemployed individuals. Four unemployed donors made nearly $198,000 in donations through thousands of transactions. They donated to various Democrat campaigns and PACs, raising questions about the source of their funds. Investigator Tony Saruga found over 400,000 new ActBlue accounts created in 30 days, with Harris campaign emails urging small donations. Fake names were inserted into ActBlue lists, showing up in official emails, suggesting a potential scam to create a facade of grassroots support while funneling larger sums.

An investigation reveals potential discrepancies in campaign donations attributed to unwitting donors through platforms like WinRed and ActBlue. FEC data suggests individuals are donating large sums via numerous small transactions, raising questions about hidden agendas. One New Jersey resident, Alexandra Gina, is listed as donating over $154,000 in three years through thousands of transactions, which she denies. The investigation found that WinRed and ActBlue did not respond to requests for clarification. The report also highlights the influence of foreign money in US elections, mentioning Swiss billionaire Hans Georg Wiese's significant contributions to progressive causes. The team encourages viewers to check their own FEC records for irregularities and report findings. They are also hosting a webinar to train citizen journalists.

ActBlue officials are reportedly hesitant to testify, possibly due to concerns about potential criminal liability as the Justice Department investigates. Trump issued an executive order directing the Justice Department and FBI to treat foreign money in elections seriously, viewing it as foreign interference. Congress, led by Jim Jordan, James Comer, and Brian Style, is investigating ActBlue, noting the platform reduced its security provisions, such as dropping the CVV requirement, during the 2024 election. Congress suggests this may have facilitated fraudulent money flow, potentially to help Democrats defeat Donald Trump. ActBlue claims to want to cooperate and denies intentional involvement. However, a New York Times article quoted ActBlue officials expressing concern about what Congress might uncover. Suspicious activity reports indicate potential money laundering, raising concerns from the Treasury Department, Congress, Trump, and the Justice Department.

OMG discovered potential money laundering at ActBlue's secret meeting in a Boston hotel. Donors found their names associated with large donations they didn't make. Security was tight, and police were called when journalists asked questions. ActBlue staff avoided answering about questionable donations. OMG urges people to check FEC donations for accuracy and invites insiders to share information. Join their citizen journalism efforts to uncover the truth about ActBlue.

FEC data reveals that some senior citizens across the US are listed as donating thousands of times per year, with some allegedly linked to over $200,000 in contributions. I'm James O'Keefe with OMG in Annapolis, Maryland, investigating these claims. I went to people's houses to ask them about these donations. I spoke with one man who told me to ask Donald Trump. I spoke to Cindy Noe, whose records indicate she donated over a thousand times to ActBlue in one year, totaling almost $19,000. She said she only donates $5 occasionally. Another individual was listed as making 18,000 contributions totaling $170,000, which they denied. I called Garland Riggs, who was listed as making over 31,000 contributions. He denied this. I encourage you to knock on doors and ask your neighbors if they've donated to ActBlue or Biden for President and if they know how many donations were made in their name.

I called Garland Riggs, an 80-year-old with 31,073 donations made under his address. He denies donating to ActBlue. Riggs suspects someone is using his information. He agrees to look into it.

James O'Keefe has claimed that 60% of the ActBlue donations investigated are from China, suggesting that the Chinese Communist Party is financially supporting the Democratic Party and impacting American elections. This raises questions about accountability, including the need for arrests and congressional hearings.

James O’Keefe and OMG report on FEC data indicating some senior citizens in the U.S. have donated large volumes of money, with examples of individuals attached to as much as $217,000 in contributions across 12,000 payments over three years, sometimes under variations of names and addresses. The team says the data, drawn from FEC and state records and organized by a group called election watch in Maryland, shows many contributions processed through ActBlue and groups related to political causes. In Annapolis, Maryland, O’Keefe notes the data and asks whether these donors are victims of or participants in a money-laundering scheme, or if they actually engaged in the activity—suggesting actions such as making phone calls or door-knocking to investigate. He describes the process as easy for citizen reporters: bring a microphone and camera (even an iPhone), knock on doors, and call donors to verify. He demonstrates by showing a chart of committees earmarked to receive donations via ActBlue and questions whether the donors are being duped or complicit. During on-camera interactions, he and his team cite a donor with 3,000 contributions totaling $32,000 at a given address, asking the person if she’s aware of such activity. The individual responds that they donated occasionally and not at the stated levels. They also reference the FEC record indicating donations to ActBlue and Biden for President, and question the accuracy of the donor’s claimed totals, while the donor denies making such large-scale contributions and expresses confusion over the situation. One profile highlighted is Cindy Ngo of Annapolis, Maryland, claimed to have contributed over 1,000 times in 2022 for $18,849.77 to ActBlue, which would require daily donations, a claim the interviewee disputes. The donor states they donate occasionally, around $5 at a time, and says they do not believe such frequent contributions were made from her address. The team remarks that the pattern is inconsistent with the donor’s response, noting that the frequency implied by the data does not match the donor’s account. Another profile discussed is Garland Riggs, described as an elderly donor with 31,073 individual contributions under his address, totaling about $230,000. When contacted, Riggs denies donating to ActBlue; he suggests his wife may have donated, but says the amounts are nowhere near the figures alleged. O’Keefe explains he will email the donor the information, including the FEC records, and asks whether Riggs believes someone else might be using his name. The report outlines a method for field inquiries: identify a target by name, confirm whether donations were made in their name and how many times, then ask follow-up questions such as whether they donated 3,000 times. The team emphasizes obtaining comment before publication and notes they have dozens of other homes in Maryland and hundreds nationwide matching the profile. They announce plans to continue calling and visiting more individuals. O’Keefe closes by noting the data came from election watch in Maryland, Gibson Group, and Maryland Twenty Twenty Watch, which have submitted a lawsuit to the U.S. District Court of Maryland regarding the grievance, and invites others to participate as citizen journalists. He directs viewers to okeefmediagroup.com for information on how to pursue similar stories.

Election Watch will file a complaint with the FEC and DC over discrepancies and apparent fraud in donations, many linked to elderly home addresses, then file a lawsuit in the Northern District of Virginia after 120 days. The lawsuit will include evidence that over 60% of the money involved is apparently coming from China. ActBlue is allegedly feeding money to PACs like Emily's List and Color of Change PAC. Election Watch's information comes from tracing Internet traffic patterns to see transaction origins and destinations. These patterns reveal financial processors like Amalgamated Bank's Washington DC branch and Dibby, a debit card processor out of Utah, are involved in large transactions. The lawsuit will include much of this information, and citizen journalists are encouraged to find further answers.

President Trump is directing the justice department to investigate act blue, a democratic donation platform, with a focus on allegations about illegal straw donors and foreign contributions. White House is directing the attorney general to investigate the Democratic party's fundraising platform. It's called ActBlue, and the president says he wants to know if foreign money is being donated to the group and then utilized to sway elections. Democrats are calling this probe a dangerous abuse of power. ActBlue is an enormous operation in Democratic politics, raised more than $16,000,000,000 since 02/2004. You may have seen the text pop up from candidates saying, please donate. Go to the Act Blue website. Republicans use something similar called win red. There was a memo signed on Thursday directing the attorney general to investigate if foreign nationals are using ActBlue platform to bypass campaign finance laws. Trump wants a report out in six months.

The video reveals suspicious donation patterns on fec.gov, with unemployed individuals making numerous small donations totaling tens of thousands of dollars to ActBlue and various Democrat campaigns. Investigator Tony Saruga found over 400,000 new ActBlue accounts created in 30 days, with the Harris campaign sending emails asking for $1 donations using fear tactics. Fake donors were inserted into ActBlue lists, showing the campaign's desperation for small donations to potentially facilitate a larger scam.

FEC data indicates that numerous senior citizens in the US are donating thousands of times annually, with some names and addresses linked to over $200,000 in contributions. We visited some of these individuals to verify the data, suspecting a potential money laundering operation. For example, Cindy Noe of Annapolis, Maryland, purportedly donated to ActBlue over 1,000 times in 02/2022, totaling $18,849.77, which equates to approximately three donations daily. When approached, Cindy acknowledged donating to ActBlue occasionally, but denied donating $18,850 or the possibility of her address being used for such purposes.
