ActBlue C.E.O. Invokes Fifth Amendment Repeatedly in Testimony to Congress [View all]

The chief executive of ActBlue, whose lawyers warned her that she might have misled Congress about how the Democratic fund-raising organization vetted its foreign donations, invoked her Fifth Amendment rights and declined to answer questions from a Republican-led House committee on Wednesday.

Over and over, the chief executive, Regina Wallace-Jones, declined to engage with questions from Republicans on the House Administration Committee. She had agreed to appear on Wednesday morning to discuss the committee’s investigation into the operations of ActBlue, which serves as the small-dollar financial engine of the Democratic Party and its candidates.

She invoked her Fifth Amendment right not to testify 22 times in response to questions from House Republicans, including when Representative Barry Loudermilk of Georgia asked whether she went by Ms. Wallace-Jones or Ms. Jones.

The Democrats at the hearing posed no questions to Ms. Wallace-Jones but instead attacked WinRed, the Republican fund-raising platform, and Ken Paxton, the Texas attorney general and Senate nominee who has mounted his own investigation of ActBlue.
