Former President Donald Trump may have offered to help pay for Arizona Senate election audit that supporters hope will reverse his election loss, according to newly released records.

In an April text exchange with audit spokesman Randy Pullen, Trump campaign official and former Arizona state treasurer Jeff DeWit offered to send $175,000 to the Guardian Defense Fund, a dark-money fund run by Rep. Mark Finchem, R-Oro Valley, where Pullen serves as treasurer. A dark-money fund is not required to disclose its funders. Finchem is also running for secretary of state.

DeWit later asked about a second nonprofit that contributed money to the audit, Fund the Audit by The America Project.

“So they are ok to donate to? Trump asking,” he texted Pullen on April 28.

It’s unclear if Trump’s money eventually made it to the Senate’s election audit. The Senate’s contractor, Cyber Ninjas, announced in late July that it raised more than $5.6 million from five different nonprofit organizations, but didn’t share the original donors. The Arizona Capitol Times has also not independently confirmed whether Trump or any of his affiliates contributed money to the campaign.

like he ever paid for anything in his life.

2. Right having him promise to pay for anything is a joke.

3. This should read that he wanted to send out a fundraising

letter to his cult. Works every time.
