A new transcript is shedding light on Julia “Julie” Fancelli's intent to offer $3 million to support for those who were involved in the Jan. 6 protests that transpired prior to Trump supporters storming the U.S. Capitol.

According to HuffPost, documentation of the Publix heir's testimony before the House Select Committee includes details about the donations she was willing to provide.

The report also noted that InfoWars host and conspiracy theorist Alex Stone, Trump aide Roger Stone and Charlie Kirk also benefited from Fancelli's contributions.

"Extremist conspiracy peddler Alex Jones apparently scored $200,000 from Fancelli, longtime Donald Trump aide Roger Stone was provided a private flight to Washington, D.C., and young Trump disciple Charlie Kirk — head of Turning Point USA — received $1.25 million ostensibly to transport masses of Trump supporters to the capital, according to the transcript of her questioning released by the committee Thursday," the news outlet reports.

Out of Fancelli's donation, Stone was supposed to use a quarter of the $200,000 for the "rally operating budget."

The latest on the transcript follows a previous Washington Post report about Fancelli's contribution. According to that report, she was listed as one of the largest publicly known contributors to former President Donald Trump's January 6 "Stop the Steal" rally.

"The Washington Post earlier reported that Fancelli was the largest publicly known donor to the rally — and had wired $650,000 to groups behind the 'Stop the Steal' organizing," the news outlet reports. "But the transcript of her questioning, which cites wire transfers and various communications, has revealed that her financial role was even greater than previously known. She has told the Post she had no idea the event would become violent."

As reports began circulating about Fancelli's contribution, Publix previously released a statement distancing from her actions. “We are deeply troubled by Ms. Fancelli’s involvement in the events that led to the tragic attack on the Capitol on Jan. 6,” the company said last year when questioned about her role in the rally efforts.

...The January 6th Committee has also signaled its awareness of Jones’ involvement in organizing the rallies surrounding the mobilization on Jan. 6. Citing press reports and Jones’ own statements, Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.), the committee chairman, mentioned in his public letter that Jones worked with two women, Cindy Chafian and Caroline Wren to organize the Jan. 6 rally at the Ellipse,and helped line up a funder, Publix heiress Julie Fancelli, to cover “eighty percent” of the cost.

Jones reportedly said after his testimony earlier this year that the January 6th Committee has already obtained text messages between him and Wren, a former campaign fundraiser who Jones identified as his “White House connection.”

Through Jones’ testimony in January, the committee also confirmed that Jones was on at least familiar terms with the leaders of the neo-fascist street brawling group the Proud Boys, who, like the Oath Keepers, face charges of seditious conspiracy. Jones disclosed that after a rally at the Georgia state capitol in Atlanta in November 2020, he saw Proud Boys at Hooters who were “drinking beer and ate cheeseburgers.” A photo posted on Telegram by Jeremy Bertino, a high-profile Proud Boy who has not been charged in connection with the Jan. 6 attack, shows Jones seated between Bertino and national chairman Enrique Tarrio.

While Jones has so far avoided criminal charges for his role in the events of Jan. 6, two InfoWars personnel — host Owen Shroyer and correspondent Samuel Montoya — have been arrested. Shroyer is charged with knowingly entering or remaining on restricted grounds and violent entry and disorderly conduct on Capitol grounds, while Montoya is charged with entering and remaining in a restricted building and disorderly and disruptive conduct, among other offenses.

Erika Wulff Jones, Alex Jones’ wife, went to the Capitol separately from her husband on Jan. 6, riding on the back of a golf cart with Cindy Chafian.

Alex Jones traveled with another contingent to the Capitol, as the January 6th Committee noted in its letter to him. Jones has said that the “White House” told him that after the rally at the Ellipse ended, he was tasked to lead a march to the Capitol where Trump would meet them. While Trump never made it, Jones, Shroyer and Ali Alexander marched to the Capitol.

“Go to the other side of the Capitol,” Jones said, leading the marchers to the east side of the Capitol. “That’s where Trump’s going to be.”

Inside sources with knowledge of the controversy surrounding Kim Guilfoyle appear to be doing damage control in response to the reports raising questions about her $60,000 payout prior to the insurrection at the U.S. Capitol.

A number of unnamed sources, who may likely be allies of Guilfoyle, have come forward with details about the origin of the reported $60,000 she allegedly received for her brief appearance at the "Stop the Steal" rally on Jan. 6.

According to Mediaite, the funds are said to have come from "a single wealthy donor." The latest claims come just days after Rep. Zoe Lofgren (D-Calif.), a member of the House Select Committee investigating the Capitol insurrection, sparked a media firestorm when she divulged details about the five-figure payment to CNN's Jake Tapper.

According to Lofgren, Guilfoyle had received $60,000 for a speech that lasted all of "two and a half minutes” when she did the introduction for former President Donald Trump's appearance at the rally. On Tuesday, June 14, New York Times correspondent Maggie Haberman spoke with CNN where she revealed “People in Trumpworld are sharing that clip.”

“They are aghast that this is the amount of money that she got for a speech to introduce her boyfriend. They couldn’t really get over, I had one former adviser say to me, essentially, these were folks who were raising money in small amounts from retirees, telling them this was going to some legal fight that didn’t really happen,” Haberman said.

Hours later, two inside sources spoke with The Washington Post‘s Isaac Stanley-Becker and Beth Reinhard. Offering an explanation for the payout, they indicated that the fee paid to Guilfoyle had been siphoned through a political action committee known as through Turning Point Action and was paid by one donor.

For her appearance, she was compensated $60,000 by Turning Point Action, a conservative nonprofit led byCharlie Kirk, according to two people with knowledge of her compensation who spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the matter’s sensitivity.

The two people said the sponsoring donor was Julie Fancelli, the 72-year-old daughter of the founder of the Publix grocery store chain.

Eight days before the Jan. 6 rally, Fancelli wired $650,000 to several organizations that helped stage and promote the event.

In addition to the reports about the payment Guilfoyle received, the House Select Committee also revealed Trump raised approximately $250 million for his "official election defense fund” that reportedly does not even exist.

little-known Trump supporter and billionaire heiress of Publix is facing a federal investigation for her alleged role in financing the coordinated efforts to storm the U.S. Capitol.

According to The Washington Post, Rep. Bennie G. Thompson (D-Miss.), the chairman of the House Select Committee investigating the Capitol riots has

indicated that an investigative probe is being focused on Julie Fancelli —the 72-year-old daughter of Publix grocery store chain founder, George W. Jenkins

— and her financial influence which contributed to the Capitol riots coming to fruition.

Fancelli, who reportedly lives a relatively quiet like in Florida, is said to have quietly donated a total of $650,000 to three different right-wing organizations that participated in the Jan. 6 insurrection.

Initially, investigators calculated approximately $300,000 that Fancelli allegedly wired to the organizations.

But, now that suspected amount has more than doubled. The timeline of her donations has also been revealed:

December 29, 2020 - Women for America First, a non-profit that helped organize the "Stop the Steal" rally, received $300,000 from Fancelli.

On the same day, she allegedly sent $150,000 to the Republican Attorneys General Association, an organization that covered the cost of a robocall encouraging Trump supporters to “call on Congress to stop the steal.”

The State Tea Party Express also received $200,000 that day, according to tax filings from the group that day, per a report published by Citizens for Responsibility & Ethics in Washington.

During the time leading up to the "Stop the Steal" rally and the insurrection, Fancelli reportedly shared reports from conspiracy theorist Alex Jones with her friends and family members.

One day before Fancelli's donations were wired out,

Jones discussed the baseless claims of election fraud during one of his Infowars segments.

“I don’t want Trump to step down,” Jones said during a segment of his online platform Infowars platform on Dec. 28. “Either by overturning the election and showing it’s a fraud and getting Congress to act on Jan. 6 to not certify for Biden, or whether we end upimpeaching Joe Biden or getting him arrested as a Chi-Com agent, one way or another, he will be removed.”

In wake of the reports of Fancelli's donations, Publix has released a statement to The Washington Post addressing the situation. “We are deeply troubled by Ms. Fancelli’s involvement in the events that led to the tragic attack on the Capitol on January 6,” Publix said.

Low-profile heiress who ‘played a strong role’ in financing Jan. 6 rally is thrust into spotlight

Eight days before the Jan. 6 rally in Washington,a little-known Trump donor living thousands of miles away in the Tuscan countryside quietly wired a total of $650,000 to three organizations that helped stage and promote the event.

The lack of fanfare was typical of Julie Fancelli, the 72-year-old daughter of the founder of the Publix grocery store chain. Even as she has given millions to charity through a family foundation, Fancelli has lived a private life, splitting time between her homes in Florida and Italy, and doting on her grandchildren, according to family members and friends.

[The Jan. 6 insurrection

The House select committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection is holding a series of high-profile hearings this month. Find the latest here.

Congressional hearings: The House committee investigating the attack on the U.S. Capitol has conducted more than 1,000 interviews over the last year. It’s sharing its findings in a series of hearings starting June 9. Here’s what we know about the hearings and how to watch them.

The riot: On Jan. 6, 2021, a pro-Trump mob stormed the U.S. Capitol in an attempt to stop the certification of the 2020 election results. Five people died on that day or in the immediate aftermath, and 140 police officers were assaulted.

Inside the siege: During the rampage, rioters came perilously close to penetrating the inner sanctums of the building while lawmakers were still there, including former vice president Mike Pence. The Washington Post examined text messages, photos and videos to create a video timeline of what happened on Jan. 6.

Charges: Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio and four lieutenants have been charged with seditious conspiracy, joining Oathkeepers leader Stewart Rhodes and about two dozen associates in being indicted for their participation in the Capitol attack. They’re just some of the hundreds who were charged, many of which received punishments substantially lighter than what the government requested.]

Eight days before the Jan. 6 rally in Washington, a little-known Trump donor living thousands of miles away in the Tuscan countryside quietly wired a total of $650,000 to three organizations that helped stage and promote the event.

Now, Fancelli is facing public scrutiny as the House committee investigating the insurrection seeks to expose the financing for the rally that preceded the riot at the US Capitol. Fancelli is the largest publicly known donor to the rally, support that some concerned relatives and others attributed to her enthusiasm for conspiracy theorist Alex Jones.

The Washington Post previously reported that on Dec. 29, 2020,Fancelli donated $300,000 to Women for America First, a nonprofit group that helped organize the Jan. 6 rally, and $150,000 to the nonprofit arm of the Republican Attorneys General Association, which paid for a robocall touting a march to “call on Congress to stop the steal.”

The Boston Globe

Heiress in spotlight over Jan. 6 funding

By Beth Reinhard, Jacqueline Alemany and Josh Dawsey Washington Post, Updated December 9, 2021

biz insider

...fancelli, an heiress to the popular Publix supermarket chain, lives a low-key life out of the public eye mainly in Italy. But the 72-year-old is now coming under scrutiny by the House Select Committee investigating the money trail behind the January 6 insurrection, the Washington Post reports.

Fancelli, a prominent high-dollar donor to Republican groups and causes, gave at least $650,000 to groups that organized the rallies in Washington protesting Congress affirming President Joe Biden's 2020 election victory and spent money urging Trump supporters to attend such rallies, based on new tax records revealed by the watchdog group CREW and the Post.

Fancelli gave $200,000 to a group called State Tea Party Express that went to ads encouraging Republicans to protest at the Capitol on January 6, tax filings obtained by the Post show. That sum is on top of a previously reported $300,000 donation to Women For America First, one of the organizers of the January 6 rally at the Ellipse, and a $150,000 donation to a nonprofit offshoot of the Republican Attorneys General Association.

The supermarket chain is now distancing itself from Fancelli's donations under the mounting scrutiny from Congress. As Publix is a private company, it is unclear how large of a stake Fancelli holds in the company, as the Post noted. Fancelli, one of Publix founder George Jenkins' seven children, has never worked directly for the company or served on its board.

The company said in a statement to the Post that it "cannot control the actions of individual stockholders" and is "deeply troubled by Ms. Fancelli's involvement in the events that led to the tragic attack on the Capitol on January 6."

Attempts to reach Fancelli went unreturned, including an email address she's used previously having too full an inbox to receive new messages. She seldom speaks publicly about her political involvement but said in February that she "would never support any violence, particularly the tragic and horrific events that unfolded on January 6th."

Associates of Fancelli told the Post that as Fancelli got more politically active in giving large sums of money to Republican causes, she became particularly obsessed with the right-wing conspiracy theorist Alex Jones (who has been subpoenaed by the January 6 panel) and his show Infowars.

Fancelli frequently sent Alex Jones and Infowars links about the 2020 election to friends and family in the days and weeks prior to January 6, sources told the Post. She and Jones also spoke by phone on at least one occasion between December 27, 2020 and January 1 after reaching out to his team to ask how she could better support his efforts to overturn former President Donald Trump's election loss.

"I am not tantalized by that fellow, but apparently she is, and a lot of other people are addicted, to the detriment of the country," Barney Barnett, Fancelli's brother-in-law, told the Post. "Julie is one of the finest people I know, and I am sorry she got tied up with this guy."

One person familiar with contacts between the Republican National Committee and Fancelli described her to the Post as "basically just a right-winger, smarter than a lot of donors, but has an affinity for Alex Jones and conspiracy theories and that sort of thing."

Caroline Wren, another figure of interest who has been subpoenaed by the January 6 select committee, facilitated the donations between Fancelli and the group, the Post reported.

"The funding behind the First Amendment rally at the White House Ellipse was entirely lawful and consistent with the rights Ms. Fancelli has as an American citizen," Wren told The Post.

The new revelations about Fancelli's donations may help the January 6 committee put together more of the puzzle pieces behind the funding and organization of the rally and march to Capitol that preceded the insurrection on the Capitol.

Ali Alexander, a prominent organizer in the Stop the Steal movement, is cooperating with the January 6 committee and is sitting for a deposition on Thursday. In his opening statement, obtained by The New York Times, Alexander sought to separate himself from the violence at the Capitol and throws the organizers of other rallies under the bus, blaming them for not doing anything to stop the increasingly unwieldy mob.

"While I was actively trying to de-escalate events at the Capitol and end the violence and lawlessness, it's important to note that certain people were nowhere to be found," Alexander wrote in the statement. "Press reports suggest they may have had their feet up drinking donor-funded champagne in a war room in the Willard."

Fancelli herself was set to travel to Washington, stay at the Willard, and attend the rally she'd helped fund, the Post reported, but canceled the trip over the COVID-19 pandemic.

The same Republican mega-donor who provided most of the funding for the 1/6 Trump rally also gave hundreds of thousands of dollars to the Republican state AGs association for 1/6.

There Was A Coordinated Effort On 1/6 To Overturn The Election On Multiple Levels.

The Washington Post reported:

A wealthy Trump donor who helped finance the rally in Washington on Jan. 6 also gave $150,000 to the nonprofit arm of the Republican Attorneys General Association, records show, funds that a person familiar with the contribution said were intended in part to promote the rally. The nonprofit organization paid for a robocall touting a march that afternoon to the U.S. Capitol to “call on Congress to stop the steal.”

On Dec. 29, Julie Jenkins Fancelli, daughter of the founder of the Publix grocery store chain, gave the previously undisclosed contribution to RAGA’s nonprofit Rule of Law Defense Fund, or RLDF,records reviewed by The Washington Post show. On the same day, the records show that Fancelli gave $300,000 to Women for America First, the “Stop the Steal” group that obtained a permit for the rally featuring former president Donald Trump.

The AG Buyoff Was About More Than Promoting A Rally

The coup plot involved stopping the certification of the election to allow an injunction to be filed that would result in the election being sent back to the states where their delegations in the House would vote to reelect Trump.

The plotters needed the state GOP AGs on their side to fight the state lawsuits that would have arisen to certify the election. Republicans were ready to deploy their AGs to overturn an election at the state level for Trump.

The 1/6 Attack Was Not Spontaneous. It Was Part Of A Planned Coup

Trump had been suggesting for months before Election Day that the election would be stolen from him. One suspects that the wheels had been in motion for this coup plot before Donald Trump lost to Joe Biden.

Part of the investigative work of the 1/6 Committee will be to put together all of the pieces to paint a detailed picture of who was involved, what they did, and how the attack on the Capitol is linked to the coup.

The plot is thickening, and it looks like the attack on America goes much deeper than the Trump administration and Republicans in Congress.

There is an ongoing argument over whether or not the DOJ and the 1/6 Committee are dragging their feet, but given what is being revealed almost daily, the size and scope of the coup plot are huge.

Investigations are ongoing, and evidence is being gathered. Justice rushed does not equal justice delivered.

What the nation is facing is a Republican Party that has declared war on democracy.

Heiress who funded Jan 6 Capitol rally also funneled $150,000 to GOP attorneys general association: report

According to a report from the Washington Post, the daughter of the founder of the Publix grocery store chain who helped finance the Jan 6th rally that turned into a riot at the Capitol, also spread more of her money to the nonprofit arm of the Republican Attorneys General Association to be used to promote the rally.

The report goes on to state that Julie Jenkins Fancelli's $150,000 contribution was " intended in part to promote the rally. The nonprofit organization paid for a robocall touting a march that afternoon to the U.S. Capitol to 'call on Congress to stop the steal.'"

The revelation about the contribution comes as a House select committee is looking into the events of the day and Donald Trump's possible involvement as rioters forced lawmakers from both sides of the aisle to flee for their lives.

According to the new report, the wealthy Trump donor, "gave the previously undisclosed contribution to RAGA's nonprofit Rule of Law Defense Fund, or RLDF, records reviewed by The Washington Post show. On the same day, the records show that Fancelli gave $300,000 to Women for America First, the 'Stop the Steal' group that obtained a permit for the rally featuring former president Donald Trump."

The leaders of Women for America First have been subpoenaed by the committee and are being scrutinized for their part in possibly fomenting the riot and the revelation about the $150,000 donation will likely open up a new line of inquiry for investigators.

"We have many questions about coordination and funding, and we are actively seeking records and testimony that will answer those questions," said committee spokesman Tim Mulvey. "Many witnesses are already engaging with the committee, and we expect cooperation to help us get the answers we're seeking."

The Post notes that inquiries to Fancelli -- who is reportedly not involved in the family's business -- went unanswered and it is not known if she was aware exactly how the money would be spent.

Republican Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, who is seeking a second term this November as a springboard to run for president in 2024, is backed financially by some of the wealthiest private donors in the United States.

According to an analysis published by correspondent Zac Anderson in Wednesday's Herald Tribune, "dozens of billionaires and billionaire family members with a net worth of $275 billion have donated to DeSantis’ reelection effort, a level of billionaire support one expert called 'extraordinary.'"

Anderson revealed that 42 individuals with net worths of 10-plus digits – or three commas – have invested at least $12.45 million of their cash in DeSantis, who has championed extreme right-wing policies in the Sunshine State and seeks to take his crusade nationwide.

The figures are staggering, per Anderson's reporting:

Total billionaire donors: At least 42

Total contributions from billionaires: At least $12.5 million

State with most DeSantis billionaire contributions: Florida at 12, followed by New York with six, and Texas with five

Billionaire donor with highest net worth: Julia Koch and family at $62.2 billion

Billionaire donor who gave the most: Ken Griffin at $5 million

Billionaire donor who gave the least: Stanley Hubbard at $10,000

Number of billionaires who have given DeSantis at least six figures: 25

Number of states with billionaire DeSantis donors: 15

Other notable names pumping DeSantis full of campaign sugar include:

Publix supermarket heiress and financier of the January 6th, 2021 Capitol insurrection Julie Jenkins Fancelli (family net worth $8.8 billion

Former President Donald Trump's Secretary of Education and Amway heiress Betsy DeVos as well as three of her kin (family net worth $5.4 billion)

Ex-San Francisco 49ers owner, real estate mogul, and Trump-pardoned Louisiana gambling bribe recipient Edward DeBartolo Jr. (family net worth $2.5 billion).
