President Donald Trump has ordered the Justice Department to investigate ActBlue, the Democratic Party’s leading fundraising platform — a move critics say is the latest example of Trump using government power against his political opponents.

In an executive order signed Thursday, Trump directed Attorney General Pam Bondi to look into Republican allegations that ActBlue facilitates illegal campaign donations.

Democrats, who had anticipated a political targeting, swiftly condemned the investigation. ActBlue called the move an "oppressive use of power" by the White House.

"The Trump administration’s and GOP’s targeting of ActBlue is part of their brazen attack on democracy in America," the platform said in a statement. "Today’s escalation by the White House is blatantly unlawful and needs to be seen for what it is: Donald Trump’s latest front in his campaign to stamp out all political, electoral, and ideological opposition."

ActBlue added it would pursue "all legal avenues to protect and defend itself," vowing to continue providing a "safe, secure fundraising platform for the millions of grassroots donors who rely on us."
