Immediately after her loss, she launched a leadership political action committee titled The Great Task which will allow her to keep her political aspirations alive while taking on the former president. Trump, whose home and private club Mar-a-Lago in Florida was raided by the FBI just days before the primary, has not ruled out running for president again in two years.
Cheney is using some of Trump’s own consultants and allies, including those from the powerful Koch network, to try to keep the former president from winning a second term in the White House. Some of them appear to have used limited liability companies that shroud their identity from the public.
“These people are going to be persona non grata after the Cheney loss,” a senior GOP strategist close to Trump said when asked if the president and his associates will work with the former Cheney advisors again. Jeff Miller, a longtime lobbyist and ally of House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., has told vendors not to work with Cheney’s team, according to The New York Times.
Miller and a spokesman for Trump did not return a request for comment. A spokesman for Cheney did not return a request for comment.
Billionaire and conservative political backer Charles Koch is helping Cheney through i360, a data and technology company owned by his conglomerate, Koch Industries, according to financial database PitchBook and Federal Election Commission filings.
The filing shows two PACs, Conservatives for a Strong America and Wyomingites Defending Freedom and Democracy, paid i360 to help deploy pro-Cheney ads through text messages. Axios reported that the leader of Wyomingites Defending Freedom and Democracy is former Trump White House aide Julia Griswold Dailer, who didn’t return a request for comment.
A nonprofit partially funded by Charles Koch, Americans for Prosperity, paid $11 million to i360 for data services, according to the nonprofit’s 2020 tax disclosure.
Kochs are just as evil as Soros.
Total lack of self awareness. Liz Cheney is a waste of time and money for them. But if they want to throw resources down a rat hole, so be it.
stop giving loser Liz band width, she is a nobody.
It’s cnbc, so you know it’s true.
The Koch Bros. NEVER backed Trump. Just the opposite. Reporter needs to get his facts straight.
backing to do wut... run a losing presidential campaign???
Further evidence that Trump is either the biggest political dupe in history, or he is willingly part of the show.
Backing her for what? Dog Catcher?
There is great rattlesnake habitat in Wyoming.
Liz Cheney should join them under a tree or rock.
LOL, faceplant. You believe everything you read or hear? You think there are not wheels within wheels?
Article is meant to be divisive. Look at the source.
At this level these people hedge their bets by helping everyone to some extent.
Donald Trump did the same thing and said so back in 2016.
MSM propaganda.
“The Koch Bros. NEVER backed Trump.“
CNBC knows that but it helps push the narrative that more and mores Trump supporters are baling on him.
Yep. Makes you wonder how the author doesn’t know this. I’m sure he does and is part of the left’s/deep state’s desperate attempt to make it look like Trump is losing support, which is the opposite of reality.
the basturds are wasting their money on Loony Liz
they can and will, of course, find much more saleable slimeballs to back
Backing Liz Cheney is like backing a dead rat.
A person who attacks a team member constantly is simply not to be trusted.
It was her duty to assist Trump to overcome problems.
She should have lent help instead of spitting out verbal venom.

CNBC=MSNBC=NBC=worst of the enemedia.
Koch/Trump supporters? Hmmmmm!
