Ken Paxton was the first attorney general in America to investigate ActBlue, and what his office discovered about the biggest political fundraising machine in the country made him do something no AG had ever tried. His team went online, made up fake names, and started donating. What happened next explains why the ActBlue CEO sat in front of Congress and pled the Fifth Amendment 22 times, why her own law firm turned on her, and why internal whistleblowers say they were ordered to stop looking.
If Paxton is right, billions of dollars in campaign finance are flowing through a system that’s wide open to China, Iran, or anyone else who wants to buy an American election. And the one case that could blow it apart just got blocked by a judge 1,800 miles from Texas.
Paxton also gets into his Senate race against James Talarico, the $30 million Talarico raised in a single quarter, the Reid Hoffman money behind it, and the theology fight that has Christians across denominations calling Talarico a heretic.
