Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., said Wednesday that the media doesn’t care about foreign interference in American elections as long as it benefits Democrats. 

House Administration Committee Chairman Bryan Steil, R-Wis., and Johnson recently requested access to suspicious activity reports (SARs) filed by financial institutions concerning money flowing through ActBlue, a nonprofit that raises money for Democrats.

“The Committee is compelling, via the attached subpoena, the production of documents and communications related to ActBlue’s donor verification policies and the potential for foreign actors, primarily from Iran, Russia, Venezuela, and China, to use ActBlue to launder illicit money into U.S. political campaigns,” Steil wrote in the letter to ActBlue CEO Regina-Wallace Jones.

The GOP lawmakers have asked Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen, FBI Director Christopher Wray and Director of National Intelligence Avril Haines to provide them access to any Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs) related to monies passing through ActBlue that were filed by U.S. financial institutions as part of their money-laundering monitoring activities.

“Because it’s involved with a Democrat fundraising operation here,” Johnson said on the “John Solomon Reports” podcast when asked why the mainstream media wasn’t covering this story.

He speculated that the problem was not limited to foreign donors. 

“My guess is this is probably happening with the US donors as well,” Johnson said. “Again that’s just a guess. I have no proof of that.”
