On April 24, 2025, President Donald J. Trump signed a Presidential Memorandum to investigate unlawful political donations, with a specific focus on “straw donations” and foreign contributions.

The memorandum directs the Attorney General to investigate allegations that online fundraising platforms, such as ActBlue, may have been used to facilitate illegal contributions, including those from foreign entities.

This initiative aims to restore trust in the electoral process by addressing identified fraud schemes and ensuring compliance with U.S. election laws.
