House Administration Committee chairman Bryan Steil (R-WI) sent letters to five state attorneys general referring the committee’s findings about alleged “straw donors” through ActBlue , the fundraising platform used by Democrats, for investigation in each of those states.
Steil sent the letters to the attorneys general for Arkansas, Texas, Missouri, Virginia, and Florida, on Wednesday, including data from their investigation, according to a report from Just the News.
The letters outline that the committee has found “suspicious trends” including donations not matching up with the net worth or history of the listed individual, frequent donations from older and first time donors, along with donations to politicians that are the opposite in ideology from previous politicians the individual has donated to.
“The final analysis produced a set of anomalous donor profiles, ranked by the severity of the
inconsistencies. In reviewing this analysis, it became clear there is suspicious activity occurring that
warrants further review,” the letters said, per Just the News.
