Regina Wallace-Jones, CEO of the Democratic fundraising platform ActBlue, faced a congressional hearing on Wednesday. During the hearing, she chose to invoke the Fifth Amendment multiple times. This decision prevented her from answering questions about the platform’s methods for screening foreign donations.
The hearing took place before the House Administration Committee. Republicans concentrated their efforts on understanding how ActBlue ensures foreign contributions are properly vetted. Despite their inquiries, Wallace-Jones remained firm in her decision not to respond, citing constitutional rights.
