Text messages suggest Donald Trump looked into funding the controversial Arizona election audit
Newly-released text messages between a Trump campaign official and the spokesman for the controversial Arizona Senate election audit suggest former President Donald Trump was looking to help fund the very recount his supporters hoped would help overturn his loss in the 2020 presidential election.
In an April text exchange reviewed by The Arizona Capitol Times, former Trump campaign official Jeff DeWit and audit spokesperson Randy Pullen discussed possible contributions by Trump to the audit effort.
According to the outlet, DeWit offered to send $175,000 to a so-called "dark money" fund called the Guardian Defense Fund, where Pullen also served as treasurer, and later inquired about contributing on behalf of Trump to another group called Fund the Audit by the America Project.
"So are they ok to donate to? Trump asking," DeWit reportedly texted Pullen about Fund the Audit on April 28.
