Terri Sewell, D-Ala., lashed out at Republican efforts to investigate a Democratic fundraising apparatus on Wednesday afternoon, characterizing the ongoing fraud probe as the most recent instance of GOP retribution against Black women in power.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOver and over again, Donald Trump\u2019s Department of Justice has harassed Black women with bogus lawsuits,\u201d Sewell said on Wednesday morning.<\/p>\n<p>Sewell\u2019s criticisms come as Republican lawmakers probe ActBlue, a Democratic fundraising and campaign organization, and its CEO and president, Regina Wallace-Jones, for potentially accepting illegal donations.<\/p>\n<p>In particular, House Republicans are\u00a0demanding that ActBlue turn over\u00a0international communications, probing whether the organization knowingly misled lawmakers and dodged subpoenas to hide weaknesses in its screening process to weed out illegal, overseas donations.<\/p>\n<p>The review by lawmakers coincides with\u00a0an April\u00a0request\u00a0from President Donald Trump to investigate the group.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere is evidence to suggest that foreign nationals are seeking to misuse\u00a0online fundraising\u00a0platforms to improperly influence American elections,\u201d the White House said in a press release.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"nyp-slideshow-modal-image wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><figcaption>Rep.
