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.

I’m sorry, how do we know for a fact that the claims were false?
I doubt they’re going to want to put that in court. It must be some sort of cover-up implementation.
More Witch Hunt.
Get Jack Smith under oath. Make it clear to him that misconduct on his part can land him in prison. Ask him where the “leaks” are coming from.
Did any Dem ever make money off any false claims ? (or any other republican for that matter) ? Or is this just a Trump only law.
What part of free speech does this preclude?
“There was no fraud because we say there wasn’t.”
You mean like when the Democrats said Newt Gingrich wanted old people to live on dog food?
Who’s looking at Biden’s dirty deals? Are he and Hunter completely in the clear?
Don’t even need to go back that far. Biden raised money on “build back better” and the country is a mess. Guess they should subpoena all his private communications.
The most evil people in the country are running the country... they know you know and they don’t care. They are psychopaths... these folks are worse than ISIS... at least ISIS let you know they were evil. These evil bastards pretend they have your best interest in mind while they poison your children’s minds and bodies. Our country is being run by mentally ill psychopaths... make sure you are prepped for a zombie apocalypse because these psychopaths are going to drive us into WW3 in order to protect their power... Likely scenario at this point is something like a “French Revolution” where all the useful idiots are killed publicly in order to cleanse the Republic... but who knows... All that said, God will judge us on his timeline... Highly recommend you accept God’s grace get up in the morning and fight to save our Republic... That is my plan anyway.
They are demonic, evil deceivers.
Every last demonrat in America held Fund Raisers on Russia Collusion and Trump. ARREST THE ENTIRE PARTY
