South Carolina Attorney General Alan Wilson said Monday that he is directing the state’s law enforcement agency to investigate online fundraising programs that benefit Democrats.
Wilson, a Republican, singled out ActBlue in a letter to the head of the State Law Enforcement Division. Wilson asked SLED to look into “smurfing,” or a practice of funneling improper donations through smaller contributors.
On Sunday, President Trump called Act Blue an “illegal scam” and suggested the group should be investigated or put in jail.
