The Virginia Attorney General has pledged to investigate allegations that the Democratic donation platform ActBlue has registered thousands of donations under stolen identities and names.
AG Jason Miyares responded to Charlie Kirk’s flagging of a donation anomaly in Virginia, where a 79-year-old resident, living in a $2,000-per-month apartment, purportedly made 22,619 separate donations since 2019, totaling more than $800,000.
“My office is aware of these allegations and rest assured, we are looking into it,” the AG stated in a post. Kirk originally claimed, “It’s trivially easy to find massive, repeated donations to ActBlue that use stolen identities and, quite possibly, stolen credit cards.”
The TPUSA founder added, “For example, one person in Virginia has been named in 22,619 separate donations since 2019, totaling more than $800,000. Obviously, she’s being exploited for some kind of money-laundering operation. ActBlue raises from all fifty states. We have fifty state AGs. When will one of them take action?”
Kirk shared a post from NOVA Campaigns, which revealed that 79-year-old Kerry Alberti was making thousands of donations each year. The account labeled it as “Utter fraud (ID theft) via ActBlue.”
ActBlue has been the subject of multiple investigations by O’Keefe Media Group, where people on fixed incomes have had their names attached to thousands of donations to Democrats, amounting to tens of thousands of dollars. ActBlue claims to be the home of “small-dollar donors” for those on the left. According to the group’s about page, the donation platform “is available to Democratic candidates and committees, progressive organizations, and nonprofits that share our values for no cost besides a 3.95 percent processing fee on donations.”
