Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) has quickly positioned herself as the face of the Democratic Party. If she's not code-switching into being "street" in front of a left-wing audience, she's on cable news or in front of a podium at the Capitol Building trying to make news.
But now, she's got a new audience to contend with: The Federal Election Commission.
According to a new report, the FEC has opened a probe into a donation made to Crockett through the Democratic Party fundraising apparatus ActBlue.
The Federal Election Commission opened an investigation into firebrand Rep. Jasmine Crockett, D-Texas, regarding donations to her 2024 campaign made through ActBlue, a Democrat fundraising powerhouse organization...
...The bigger picture is that Crockett’s campaign received about $870,000 in total donations through ActBlue. The Coolidge-Reagan Foundation’s FEC complaint says. That includes the $595 recorded from Best, who lives in Plano, Texas.
“Rep. Crockett, through her principal campaign committee Respondent Jasmine for US, has received thousands of other donations through ActBlue totaling over $870,000,” the FEC complaint says. “It is unclear how many of these are similarly fraudulent transactions, made in the name of unsuspecting innocent people who did not actually provide the funds.”
The summation of this is that a "donor" supposedly gave Crockett $595 through ActBlue. The wife of the man in question, though, denied on camera that the donation was made. And while the amount itself is small, the suspicion would be that this is just one of many possible fraudulent donations made through the left-wing portal. ActBlue is currently being investigated by federal and state authorities for allegedly disguising donations to bypass campaign finance laws.
Under Joe Biden, you would have expected this investigation into Crockett to never happen or be completely glossed over. We simply don't know how aggressive the Trump administration will be, though. You would think, given how much campaign finance laws have been weaponized against Republicans, including President Donald Trump himself, that there wouldn't be any holding back here.
Still, this is unlikely to result in anything but a fine if wrongdoing is found. Until Democrat prosecutors starting trying to throw people in jail for what amounted to Quickbooks entries, that was the normal consequence. Crockett has 15 days to respond to this investigation, with the possibility of two extensions.
