8:17Now PlayingThe twice-impeached, criminally convicted felon-in-chief, Donald "The Con" Trump, signed a memorandum ordering the Justice Department to investigate ActBlue, the leading fundraising platform for Democrats.
The memo specifically calls out ActBlue, claiming it may have allowed illegal "straw" donations and foreign money to flow into Democratic campaigns.
But let's be clear: There has been no evidence to back up those claims.
This move is the latest in a series of actions where Trump has used the power of the presidency to target his opponents. But this time, he's going after the very foundation of Democratic fundraising.
ActBlue and Democratic leaders are firing back, calling the investigation "blatantly unlawful" and an attempt to silence grassroots donors and give more power to wealthy interests. They say this is about undermining democracy and making it harder for everyday people to support the candidates they believe in.
