Another day, another leak.
Special Counsel Jack Smith is now investigating Trump’s effort to raise money off of ‘false claims of election fraud,’ according to a leak to the Washington Post.
Federal prosecutors are investigating money raised between November 3, 2020 and January 20, 2021.
The Washington Post reported:
Federal prosecutors probing the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol have in recent weeks sought a wide range of documents related to fundraising after the 2020 election, looking to determine if Trump or his advisers scammed donors by using false claims about voter fraud to raise money, eight people familiar with the new inquiries said.
Special counsel Jack Smith’s office has sent subpoenas in recent weeks to Trump advisers and former campaign aides, Republican operatives and other consultants involved in the 2020 presidential campaign, the people said. They have also heard testimony from some of these figures in front of a Washington grand jury, some of the people said.
The fundraising prong of the investigation is focused on money raised during the period between Nov. 3, 2020, and the end of Trump’s time in office on Jan. 20, 2o21, and prosecutors are said to be interested in whether anyone associated with the fundraising operation violated wire fraud laws, which make it illegal to make false representations over email to swindle people out of money.
The subpoenas seek more specific types of communications so that prosecutors can compare what Trump allies and advisers were telling each other privately about the voter-fraud claims with what they were saying publicly in appeals that generated more than $200 million in donations from conservatives, according to people with knowledge of the investigation.

Because Tovarich Coloradan, the State informs us there was none.
And only a crazy person could question the all knowing, all powerful State, right?
Right.
Campaigns are free to say a lot of stuff.
If this is a lie, everything people claim in political fundraising is a lie. For instance, the GOP saying Democrats will fund or do anything before it’s actually done, is a lie. You can’t know that will happen.
Didn't Stacey Abrams make a career out of doing that? Where's the investigation into her?
-PJ
There was election fraud.
How much is unknown and unknowable.
Was it enough to tip the balance?
I doubt it, but I can’t prove it, and Smith can’t either.
Politicians tell lies and raise money. Congress couldn’t make a quorum if they were jailed.
Democrats fundraise based on lies every single day. Democrats are frauds. We better build some really massive prisons.
Two hundred million dollars could have beat Joe and his bands of bandits.
Well "false" means that which does not fit Leftist dogma. Where "true" means that which does fit Leftist dogma.
If in doubt, the Leftists will call you names until you are not in doubt. If you persist in your doubt they will attack you and make an example out of you because disagreeing with them is "violence".
Oh yes, and a "woman" is whoever claims to be a woman.
Words mean whatever they have to mean to support Leftist dogma.
The more absurd the dogma we are forced to agree with the more their masters are pleased.
How dare Trump attempt to point out how the Nazis running this country operate.
She was being investigated, requiring several people to watch her continuously. But someone came up with a real money-saving idea. Install a couple of cameras in Golden Corral and voila, they got 24 hour coverage!
Only one US politician out of probably hundreds of thousands can’t raise funds based upon his view of events?
This nation is finished.
Did they investigate Dems fundraising over false claims of the peepee tapes, Russia collusion, Ukraine, etc.?
if Trump or his advisers scammed donors by using false claims about voter fraud to raise money, eight people familiar with the new inquiries said.
Notice they are only singling out "lies" about voter fraud. If politicians were investigated for lies about any type of fundraising, every single one of them would be under investigation.
Like PDJT defending himself against false charges was obstruction.
So, in other words, they got nuthin’.
That was Rush , based on a joke he made on air that some dimwit member of Congress from CO took literally.
And if they were sincerely believed based on known evidence should Trump have acted as though they were false? The Special Counsel is trying to allege fraud.
They know these cases are bunk. They just want to involve him long enough for the public to turn on him, or to run out the clock for the election.
The house is. But not sure they are having any success.
Doesnt matter…. Is this even a crime? Fundraising? This is how desperate they are…. Hilarious.
jack off smith just wants an excuse to go fishing
pure harrassment
