Virginia AG Jason Miyares vows to investigate Democrat donation platform ActBlue after fraud allegations

AG Jason Miyares posted in response to Charlie Kirk flagging a donation anomaly in Virginia where a 79-year-old resident living in an apartment at $2,000 per month 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 said in a post. Kirk wrote in his original statement, "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 had shared a post from NOVA Campaigns, which shared that 79-year-old Kerry Alberti was making thousands of donations each year. The account commented that it was "Utter fraud (ID theft) via ActBlue."

ActBlue has been the subject of multiple investigations from O'Keefe Media Group, where people on fixed incomes have their names attached on thousands of donations to Democrats, amounting to tens of thousands of dollars. ActBlue claims that it is the home of "small-dollar donors" for those on the left. 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," per the group's about page.
