GOP Senator Took Thousands From AZ Fake Electors

The Salt Lake Tribune reports:

Sen. Mike Lee spent the weekend aggressively pushing conspiracy theories and misinformation about the U.S. Capitol riot on Jan. 6, 2021.  In the months after the Jan. 6 riot, Lee received campaign donations from three Arizona Republicans who signed documents falsely claiming Trump won the 2020 election in that state.

James Lamon, who unsuccessfully ran for U.S. Senate in 2022, donated $8,700 to Lee’s campaign in January and March of 2021. Lamon is the former CEO of DEPCOM, a solar power company. Lamon also donated $15,000 to Lee’s leadership political action committee in January 2022.

Arizona state legislator Jake Hoffman contributed $1,200 to Lee in June 2021. Hoffman gained attention ahead of the 2020 election when Facebook banned his digital marketing firm for running a “troll farm” on behalf of the conservative advocacy group Turning Point Action, the political arm of Turning Point USA.

You’re a lawyer, Mike. You’re capable of understanding the scores of J6 verdicts & rulings in our federal courts. E.g. https://t.co/wEDNB165Za. You didn’t object to electors on J6 because you knew what Trump was doing was unconstitutional & you know what you’re doing now is wrong https://t.co/uGibe7lapH

I can’t wait to ask FBI Director Christopher Wray about this at our next oversight hearing.

I predict that, as always, his answers will be 97% information-free. https://t.co/m3rRE4Byfu
