The Daily Mail has an audio recording of what appears to be Arizona’s top Republican official trying to bribe Kari Lake (R) not to run for U.S. Senate.
Jeff DeWit, chair of the Arizona Republican Party, can be heard asking Lake, a close ally of Donald Trump, to name her price to stay out of politics for two years.
Said DeWit: “There are very powerful people who want to keep you out.”
DeWit also told Lake that he thinks Trump will lose the 2024 election and it is time to make way for someone else.
