Trump targets Democratic election strategies, focusing on ActBlue

thedailybeast.com

Former President Donald Trump and the Republican Party are working to undermine the institutions that support the Democratic Party during elections. Sources say White House officials are focusing on "vulnerabilities" within the Democratic structure. The strategy involves investigating key organizations such as ActBlue, a donation platform, and Arabella Advisors, a consulting firm. These groups are essential for Democratic funding. Critics, including Trump ally Elon Musk, have raised concerns about ActBlue, suggesting something may be wrong with its operations. Kash Patel, a Trump ally, has directed FBI agents to collaborate closely with Congress regarding these investigations. Some lawmakers claim there are serious allegations against ActBlue. Recently, a Republican bill was passed that allows the Treasury Department to revoke tax-exempt status from groups linked to terrorism. In a related move, Trump signed an executive order targeting the law firm Paul, Weiss, which was involved in past investigations of him. Cole Leiter from a progressive coalition stated that the Republican efforts might sound conspiratorial but reflect a genuine strategy to weaken the Democratic approach. The White House has not yet commented on these developments.
