As a comprehensive congressional investigation into online political fundraising broadens, House Speaker Mike Johnson stated Thursday that he is concerned foreign adversaries like China and Iran may be laundering money to Democrats in this election \u2014 funds that have no doubt been used to aid Vice President Kamala Harris.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

In an interview<\/a> with Just the News, Johnson vowed that Republican lawmakers would take punitive measures against these overseas actors if the allegations are substantiated.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a massive scandal,\u201d Johnson told the outlet.<\/p>\n

His remarks follow a disclosure from House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer, who told lawmakers in a confidential memo that the Treasury Department has confirmed it holds hundreds of Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs) related to potential money laundering associated with the Democratic Party\u2019s substantial online fundraising platform, ActBlue.<\/p>\n

There is no indication that the Harris campaign is aware of or involved in anything nefarious. But ActBlue donations are obviously used to help Democrats election their candidates, including their presidential nominee.<\/p>\n

Comer, House Administration Committee Chairman Bryan Steil, Sen. Ron Johnson, and 19 state attorneys general have been investigating whether the ActBlue platform is being exploited by foreign actors to mask illicit donations as if they are coming from unsuspecting and potentially defrauded American citizens.<\/p>\n
