Foreign Money in US Elections? Inside the Growing Fundraising Scandal

Foreign Money in US Elections? Inside the Growing Fundraising Scandal

Author: FOX News Radio September 3, 2026 Duration: 30:59
Questions are mounting over whether foreign money was illegally funneled into Democratic campaigns through ActBlue, as multiple top officials at the fundraising platform invoke their Fifth Amendment rights during a congressional investigation. The probe is examining how ActBlue vets donations and whether the platform misled lawmakers about its safeguards against foreign contributions. Texas Republican Congressman Pat Fallon joins the Rundown to discuss the investigation. Technology is becoming an inescapable part of daily life, and Health and Human Services has issued a formal advisory to warn parents about the dangers of excessive screen time. Director of National Health Communications and Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary for Health Dr. Stephanie Haridopolos speaks with FOX's Aishah Hasnie about what HHS' findings, practical toolkits for parents, and how families can encourage kids to put down the devices and live in the real world.
