Trump helped bankroll Senate audit, texts suggest

By Dillon Rosenblatt, Kyra Haas | Arizona Capitol Times 

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.
