Dear Chairmen Jordan, Comer, and Steil:
On behalf of ActBlue LLC (“ActBlue”), we write in response to the Committees’ letter dated June 18, 2026. That letter opens by accusing ActBlue of “obstruct[ing]” the Committees’ inquiry. The accusation is false. It was false when the Committees first made it and it remains false today. We address it directly because the repetition of a charge does not establish its truth, especially given ActBlue’s record of cooperation in this case.
As we have previously explained, ActBlue has cooperated extensively with the Committees’
investigations. Since the fall of 2023, ActBlue has made seven productions—both voluntarily and in response to subpoenas—totaling thousands of pages of documents, and has answered the Committees’ requests time and again. Indeed, ActBlue made a voluntary production of roughly 2,660 pages just this past week, after committing to collecting and producing materials responsive to the Committees’ two new requests in their April 14, 2026 letter. As you know, ActBlue previously committed to continuing to produce documents responsive to these requests on a rolling basis.
ActBlue’s cooperation did not stop there. After ActBlue’s September 2025 production, the
Committees cited the absence of a document-level log as the reason they had “no basis to assess the validity” of ActBlue’s privilege claims. Although not legally required to produce a privilege log, ActBlue answered that demand by creating and producing a privilege log, which detailed, on a document-by-document basis: the records withheld as privileged, the date, the participants, and the specific basis for the assertion over each document. An entity that voluntarily produces thousands of pages, complies with subpoenas, consistently answers follow-up requests, produces a privilege log it was never obligated to create, and then responds to new voluntary requests with a fresh production of hundreds of documents does not, by definition, engage in “obstruction.” To the contrary, that is the essence of cooperation.
