After the second House Jan 6th committee hearing, New York State Attorney General Letitia James announced she will use her office to pursue ‘new information.’
‘The new details revealed tonight related to January 6 are disturbing,’ the AG tweeted Monday night.
‘It’s my duty to investigate allegations of fraud or potential misconduct in New York. This incident is no exception,’ she said.
If you watched the hearing (as millions did) it was revealed that Trump raised $250 million for his election ‘defense’ fund, but only used a minuscule amount to fight election claims in court.
Rep. Zoe Lofgren (D-Calif.), a committee member, called it the ‘big rip-off’ of small donors who contributed.
‘The Trump campaign used these false claims of election fraud to raise hundreds of millions of dollars from supporters who were told their donations were for the legal fight in the courts. But the Trump campaign didn’t use the money for that.’
Committee counsel Amanda Wick said in a video the ‘Official Election Defense Trump’ didn’t actually exist.
Another shocking revelation was that Trump campaign official Kimberly Guilfoyle, who is engaged to Donald Trump Jr., earned $60,000 for her speech at the Jan. 6 ‘Stop the Steal’ rally.
‘We know that Guilfoyle was paid for the introduction she gave at the speech on January 6. She received compensation for that,’ Lofgren told CNN after the hearing. ‘$60,000 for two-and-a-half minutes.’
