February 3, 2026, edition of Real America's Voice's War Room

STEVE BANNON (HOST): Democrats are saying this is the greatest voter suppression movement in history. Here's the reason, Minnesota shows you this, New York City shows you this, if they don't have illegal aliens voting, if they don't have these phony migrants that are here on these phony programs that are at the polls — and you're damn right we're gonna have ICE surround the polls come November.

We're not gonna sit here and allow you to steal the country again. And you can whine and cry and throw your toys out of the pram all you want, but we will never again allow an election to be stolen. And that's why I'm so proud of what President Trump is doing and people are doing. Caroline Wren, your thoughts on that before I go to Brad?

CAROLINE WREN (GUEST): I think what you said about ICE is very much related to this, because in fact, Senator Mark [Warner] said in an interview, he said, we don't want ICE agents showing up at the polling stations. That's what this is all about. That's why they're trying to defund ICE, that's why they're trying to, you know, go after and target ICE and shut it down.

Why would you care if ICE shows up to polling stations because illegal aliens are not allowed to vote in this country. Except for the problem is they do, and they do in these, they're not blue states, I was gonna say blue states. Minnesota is a deeply red state that is held hostage by illegals voting and it is — the minorities have taken over there, and by minorities I mean the minority party, the Democratic Party there, and that is due to allowing illegals to vote. And so that is what this outrage by the left is against ICE.

They're desperately trying to shut down the DHS funding bill. They don't want ICE funded because they don't want ICE at the polling stations to stop illegals from voting.

BANNON: The ask here on the Save Act, and Make Elections Great Again Act are pretty basic. A legitimate ID to show who you are to vote. It is to clean up the voter rolls. We've had Tom Fitton on here, there are millions, there are tens of millions, particularly in places like Georgia, but all over the nation there are tens of millions of people on voter rolls that should not be, they have to be cleaned up, and the blue states are the ones that are fighting the Justice Department.

And then the last is, you've got to go back to the basic law. If you're gonna have mail-in ballots, you have to have signature verification, you have to have the double envelopes, you have to have everything so we can't have a 2020 and the Democrats don't want to play with that because they know how to steal elections.

Let's just, let's put you on notice again. ICE is going to be around the polls in the 2026 midterm elections because we are never again going to allow your business model because — I think Jesse Kelly is right, 20% of the country probably votes for Democrats, you know, the credentialed class and of course the abject poor that they keep on these social welfare programs and never let them off it. That's the Democratic Party base with a handful of oligarchs, the super wealthy, that's who controls the Democratic Party.

The way that they continue to win elections is they cheat. If they don't cheat, they can't win. And now they're sitting there saying President Trump is a fascist. These are very basic things, and they're not — we're going to find out today, Chip Roy is going to come on. As hard as Anna Paulina Luna and people have been working I'm not so sure the Save Act even comes to a vote.

OnWar Room, January 6 organizer Caroline Wren claimed there was a “credible” theory online about a guy that’s a “big free Palestine activist, big LGBTQ activist on campus, who’s written insane manifestos.” She added, “What I don’t get” is “why wouldn’t you just come out and say, Hey, it’s not me.” Real America’s Voice, *War Room*, [12/17/25; Politico, 7/9/25]

New Jack Smith documents reveal millions spent on Jan. 6 rally - Raw Story

new documents unsealed in Donald Trump's criminal Jan. 6 case disclosed $3 million spent to get people to the rally that preceded the attack on the Capitol building.

Among the nearly 2,000 heavily redacted pages of evidence for charges against Trump related to an attempt to steal the 2020 election were documents relating to a budget and trip plan for the day.

The evidence is being considered by Judge Tanya Chutkan before she rules if Trump is immune to criminal charges under a Supreme Court decision. Trump's team opposed the papers being unsealed.

USA Today reported an unnamed organization spent $3 million to bring guests and protesters to D.C., and on ad buys to encourage people to make the trip. The actual costs of the event itself were under $400,000.

"Several versions of the “Confidential – Not To Be Disclosed” document are included, with some redactions, and appear to have been prepared for House Jan. 6 Select Committee investigating the attacks, which disclosed some of the information," reported USA Today.

Among the recipients of the money was the conservative group TurningPointAction, which got $1 million, according to the papers.

Donald Trump Jr's super PAC, "Save the Senate" got a $500,000 payment.

The Tea Party Express got $400,000 and $200,000 was sent to a redacted name that was recruited "to assist with his organization efforts," the documents say.

There was also a $200,000 donation to the Republican Attorneys Generals (RAGA) Rule of Law Defense.

Meanwhile, "$300,000 was budgeted for speaker fees and travel for VIP speakers and a busing program to bring in rallygoers within a 180-mile radius."

A $100,000 payment was given to a redacted group to cover "the estimated cost of their hotels, private flights, car services and private security for about 10 to 15 of its members.

dustin j6:

1 was: In your professional work at this time, was a $1,000 one-time contribution a

2 notable donation to the cause?

Yes.

And so --

A Well, I won't say it was overly notable, right? We were getting quite a few.

6 But it was that he did a thou -- I remember he did a thousand dollars and a recurring

7 hundred dollars, which is a significant commitment.

8 Q And when you said earlier raising -- correct me if I'm wrong. I think you

9 had said earlier that the fundraising for Women for America First during this time period

10 generated a few hundred thousand dollars?

Which time period are you referring to?

Well, let me actually just ask you: Between this

13 post-election-to-January-6th timeframe, how much, if you had to ballpark it, were they

14 raising?

15 A I believe, in grassroots contributions, I believe we brought in between

16 $700,000 and $800,000.

17 Q And that does not count the $250,000 donation --

18 A That is not including the Lindell donation or any other large donations the

19 Kremers may have got without my knowledge or, you know, have shared with me.

...ion beforehand, which felt like a very tense situation.

2 The -- I'm trying to think if there's anything else that stands out.

3 It felt real -- like, compared to November, it felt like we had done a really good job

4 at adapting, and we felt that we did a vastly superior job with security. And then also

5 that there were vastly less confrontations between the people who -- we see ourselves as

6 representing, like, the Tea Party grandmas, if you will. And, after the November rally, I

7 remember how upset we were to go home and watch -- there were a bunch of viral

8 videos of, like, Trump people walking back to their hotel and getting attacked, like, even

9 old ladies and stuff. And I remember we didn't -:{- the feeling in December was

10 that -- there were a bunch of Proud Boys and antifa people who had, like, clashed; like,

11 both sides were out looking for the same fight. So, like, for us, the crazies are the

12 crazies, but our job was to protect and secure, like, the patriotic Americans who were

13 answering our call to come out and have their voices heard. And December felt like we

14 did a really good job with that.

When you say "the crazies are thecrazies," is that -- you're referring to --

1mean on both sides. So, like, the -- there are elements, right, within the

17 Proud Boys and some of these -- some of the militia groups that are, frankly -- they're like

18 soccer hooligans. They're looking to get into -- like, they get off on battling each other.

19 And you see it play out in, you know, these events all over the country where you

20 see the leftist crazies and the right-wing crazies fight each other with their shields and all

21 the other silliness.}:

22 Q But it was your sense that the security you had put in place for December at

23 least was sufficient toprotect the Tea Party grandmasor the people who were coming...

[vip mad b/c no badges] p.m.]

2 The Witness. So she tells me that she raised $3 million. She's the one who

3 raised all the money and paid for everything at the Ellipse, and the Kremers paid

4 absolutely nothing, which was news to me because the Kremers had been pressuring me

5 to ramp up fundraising since like Christmas-ish, saying that like we were completely out

6 of money, and we weren't going to be able to continue unless, like, I pulled a rabbit out of

7 the hat. And I was able to go to another guy who's in my business, who was able to do a

8 rev share that was wildly successful in, like, cover stuff.

9 But it was portrayed to me that like we were spending a massive amount of

10 money on this January 6th event.:{ AndCarolinetold me that she raised the $3 million,

11 and that she parked the money with the Republican Governors Association, TPUSA, and

12 Tea Party Express.}:

13 And I actually clarified with her, because, like, I assumed she meant Tea Party

14 Patriots, but she clarified that it was Tea Party Express, which seemed interesting because

15 both Amy and I have our political roots there.

16 And she tells me that she's not giving -- that she's not giving the VIP badges over

17 to the Kremers to fuck them over, that's her language, because Kylie Kremer is the worst

18 human being she's ever interacted with, ever, and that -- she also says that Kylie is so

19 stupid that she actually fought to make her organization the one on the, like, headlines,

20 which is just a liability nightmare, right.

21 She's like, I don't -- these people are having, like, blowups over something no one

22 else wants anyway. And she tells me that -- so she tells me about the money. She tells

23 me about the badges. She tells me about parking the money at the different

24 organizations. And she gives me a couple of badges for Jen and I.

25 And I immediately -- and I believe I included these, so it's one of these text threads...

ll of it, but I think she was present for almost all of it.

19 Q Did Caroline tell you anything about her contacts or ability to sort of have

20 persuasion with the White House?

21 A Well, I knew beforehand, I knew :{Caroline as, like, Kimberly Guilfoyle's, like,

22 fundraising girl.And so, I kind of -- she didn't say it because people who do high-dollar}:

23 fundraising like that really hoard their like contacts closely. But she was very specific

24 about how much she raised, where she sent it, and what it -- like that she -- that was the

25 money used to pay for everything at the Ellipse even

...

101

1 Q In your professional experience, is it common for fund raisers to, in your

2 words, park money at different organizations?

3 A There is. In the 501{c)4 world, there are these organizations that because

4 of the idiotic way our nonprofit laws are designed, my personal opinion, the (c)4 groups

5 are 51/49, so 51 percent have to be nonpolitical but 49 percent can be political, and you

6 don't have to report the donors in the (c)4 structure.

7 So if you have a big donor who is willing to write you a big political check, you

8 have to have a robust enough percentage, right, to still be 51/49, to stay within the legally

9 mandated, like, percentages of activity. I think I described that pretty well, actually.

10 So there is, on the shadier side of stuff, right, an understanding that there are

11 certain groups that if you have a big political donor who wants to remain anonymous,

12 that, like, they have the extra space to take that money in and spend it politically without

13 it exposing the donor.

16 Express.

17 Q

18 Association?

And you said those three organizations were --

RGA, Republican Governors Association; Turning Point USA; and Tea Party

Did she mention anything about the Republican Attorneys General

I actually may be wrong with the RGA. Maybe it was the -- I actually think

20 you're right, actually. I'm sorry. It was RAG -- the acronyms get mixed sometimes.

21 think it was the Republican Attorneys General. I think I got mixed up with Republican

22 Governors Association.

23 Q :{So the organizations that Caroline Wren told you she parked the $3 million

24 with was the Republican Attorneys General Association, Turning Point USA, and the Tea

25 Party Express?

It's the Microsoft Excel that you had super zoomed in.

Mr. Rowley. Okay. So it is the same document just zoomed up.

-· Well, in order to do it, we actually had to take it and put it in a Word

8 document because of our terrible printer. So this is the same content; it's just made

9 into a document that's zoomed out but still legible.

Mr. Rowley. Okay. Thank you.

Excuse me. Zoomed in, but still legible.

Q So, in the green boxes, those are people who are already confirmed on the

:{5th as of January 2nd. That includes Pastor Mark Burns, Ali Alexander, Police

Commissioner Kerik, and Roger Stone.}:

16 At the point that Ms. Pierson sends this, were you aware that those individuals

17 were confirmed as speaking on the 5th?

18 A No. And I didn't understand then and I still don't understand now, like,

19 what that -- like, who confirmed them for the 5th? Then, was that relayed to those

20 people or anything? Like, in a vacuum, that doesn't really make sense.

21 Q Let me step back for a second. Who did you think Ms. Pierson got this red,

22 green, yellow box information from?

A It says: Guidance from the White House.

But this is a good example. This is why I made it in this format was to be able to

25 just say, like, we were all talking to different organizers, put it in here, and t

A It's like the first or second.

Q Yeah. I think there was a call he scheduled talking with speakers.

A Uh-huh.

Q And I believe there were some Congressmen on it. Maybe -- I think there's

11 a list somewhere. Gosar, Gooden, I think Lauren B, Marjorie and Kelly. I'm just -- I'm

12 reading. This is I think how they -- I'm trying to find it.

Q Thank you. Were you on that call?

Mr. Parrish. I think you said 515.

Q Yes. So the call I believe is on 515 and the names are on 516: Gosar,

that's Lauren Boebert and Marjorie Taylor Greene.}:

A Yes.

How did they sabotage the entire event? What did you mean by that?

I think I was being dramatic.

In what sense? And I'm not talking about you --

A Well, I mean, they didn't sabotage -- like it's -- the whole conversation seems

5 to be overly dramatic. And I think I was just meeting it with the level of drama at the

6 time. But Katrina and Taylor had not sabotaged the entire event.

Q Well, earlier you said: And I lost to them.

And then you say: Katrina and Taylor sabotaged my entire event.

And I was just trying to get a sense of like what did you feel you lost or what did

10 they sabotage? The event as you envisioned it, as you -- like as you had hoped it would

11 be, or like what did you feel you lost or like what did they sabotage?

12 A Again, I just think I'm being dramatic here. But, at this time, this is right

13 after it when I relayed that. And I knew that like the President didn't want anyone to

14 speak but himself and hold music, but that was also going to end up including Katrina

15 Pierson, Kylie Kremer, and Amy Kremer

...

213

16 Q And on the next page, I think it's 462, you say: And I can't even get you to

17 pick up the goddamn phone and thank Julie after asking you 70 times. This poor woman

18 has donated a million dollars to Don's Senate PAC and $3 million to this rally, and you all

19 can't take 5 minutes out of your day to thank her. :{It's so humiliating. And then you

have the audacity to ask me why I won't have her pay you $60,000.

Other than you, did anybody ever actually call to thank Ms. Fancelli?}:

...

229

1 A The purpose was, there was a lot of big donors and people that I knew had

2 been flying in because the guidance memo basically said arrive at, like, 7 or 8 a.m., or

3 something like that.

4 So nobody I knew was coming in that morning. They were all coming in the night

5 before. And so I thought it would be nice to organize an event to, first of all, watch the

6 Georgia election results that night, and then also, because of the COVID restrictions, their

7 restaurants and indoor dining wasn't open, so just to have food and, like, a place for

8 people to gather and then watch the results together.

9 And then I ended up adding in some VIPs to come and get -- like, just speak to the

10 group.

Q And was that -- I think you had Adam Piper come speak?

A Yes.

Q And did he speak with AG Paxton that night?

:{A Paxton did not make it in time. His flight was delayed.

Q So do you remember who spoke at the event that night other than Adam?

A Tommy Tuberville, Peter Navarro, Rudy Giuliani, and Adam Piper. I think

17 that's it.}:

Q So Tommy Tuberville -- Tube-er-ville or Tub-er-ville?

A Tub-er-ville.

Q Tuberville, Adam Piper, Peter Navarro, Rudy Giuliani. Anyone else you can

21 think of?

I had Michael Flynn on the agenda and he never showed up.

But he did want your VIP passes --

He sent Joe Flynn down to get them.

...The exact contents of the data leak are still unclear, but we already know that it’s not all from Alex Jones’ phone, indeed some of the records were part of an unrelated case.

The trove is huge and neither Jones’ defense lawyer, the plaintiffs’ attorneys, nor Judge Gamble seemed to know its full contents as of Thursday’s hearing.

About 2.3 gigabytes of the haul comes from Jones’ phone, including what Bankston described to the court as “intimate messages” between Jones and longtime Trump confidante Roger Stone, another person of great interest to the J6 committee.

Jones met with the J6 committee in January. He claims to have asserted his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination over 100 times.

The committee is well aware that Alex Jones was Trump’s insurrectionary pied piper. Jones hyped the “wild protest” on his show, exhorting his audience to show up and stop the certification of the election.

The committee also knows that Jones played a key role in fundraising to put on the rally at the Ellipse, the stage from which Trump set the mob upon the Capitol.

A particularly rabid Jones fangirl, a 72-year-old supermarket heiress named Janice Fancinelli wired $650,000 to stage the fateful rally at the Ellipse, a display of largesse that some of her concerned family members and other insiders ascribed to “her enthusiasm for conspiracy theorist Alex Jones.”

The donation was handled by elite GOP fundraiser Caroline Wren, who insisted that only Jones on the podium alongside Trump would satisfy the InfoWars superfan.

Wren reportedly pushed so hard that someone called the park police about a potential “disorderly.” In the end, Jones attended the rally but not in a speaking role. As the president’s inflammatory speech wound down, staffers escorted Jones out so that he could lead the crowd to the Capitol.

Photos show Jones inside the restricted area. Two InfoWars staffers entered the Capitol itself and are now facing criminal charges.

Jones’ former employee, Joe Biggs, is a Proud Boy who is facing charges of seditious conspiracy for his role in the J6 riot.

Biggs is represented by none other than Connecticut lawyer and tech wizard Norm Pattis.

As the name suggests, punitive damages are a punishment for particularly reprehensible behavior, above and beyond the compensation owed to a defendant’s victims.

Punitive damages are a jury’s opportunity to send a message to society about the defendant and their bad behavior. The award will probably be capped under Texas law, but the jury sent a clear message about the acceptability of lying about dead kids for money.

However, Jones’ biggest punishment may still be coming – at the hands of the January 6 committee or the criminal justice system.

Caroline Wren, the top aide of top Trump adviser (and then-secret Donald Trump Jr. fiancée) Kimberly Guilfoyle, told Dustin Stockton that Jenny Beth Martin’s group and Women for America First—the latter the insurrectionist outfit behind the January 6 event that incited the attack on the Capitol—were only able to work together because Ginni Thomas, who’d served as an “early Tea Party activist” with Women for America First leader Amy Kremer, had worked diligently to make that cooperation possible.

Without Ginni Thomas, the Times indicates, the “years[-long]…bitter legal dispute”between Kremer and Martin would have made their cooperation impossible—and thus the January 6 White House Ellipse event that launched an insurrection a non-starter.

https://www.alternet.org/2022/08/alex-jones-january-6th-insurrection/

an raw 822

Congressional investigators hoped that volumes of phone texts that conspiracy theorist Alex Jones accidentally turned over to opposing counsel in civil litigation would yield answers about his involvement in the Jan. 6 attack on the US Capitol, but the texts reportedly only cover a period through mid-2020.

Mark Bankston, who represents the parents of the children murdered at Sandy Hook Elementary in 2012, has reportedly said the cache includes texts with political operative Roger Stone, a longtime friend of former President Donald Trump who, alongside Jones, became a major tribune of the campaign to overturn the 2020 election. The effort by the House select committee to investigate the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol to obtain the texts highlights the panel’s sustained interest in Jones’ role.

To date, Jones has not been charged in the attack, but he has played prominent roles in amplifying the messaging of the campaign to overturn the election and building the infrastructure of the protests in the run-up to the attack, culminating in his presence on the ground at the Capitol on Jan. 6.

The committee’s interest in Jones was on display during a hearing on July 12 through recorded testimony of Kellye SoRelle, general counsel for the Oath Keepers. Nine members of the far-right militia face seditious conspiracy charges. SoRelle confirmed that Jones’ name was among three prominent figureheads during the series of protests leading up to Jan. 6.

“You mentioned that Mr. Stone wanted to start the Stop the Steal rallies,” the investigator said. “Who do you consider the leader of those rallies? It sounds like, from what you just said, it wasMr. Stone, Mr. Jones and Mr. Ali Alexander.Is that correct?”

“Those are the ones that became like the center point for everything,” SoRelle responded.

Alex Jones could not be reached for comment for this story.

Through his show on the InfoWars platform, Jones provided a venue for two of the most inspirational figures involved in rallying Trump’s supporters — Stone and retired Lt. General Michael Flynn. But Jones also leveraged his celebrity and following to do his own part in mobilizing Trump’s supporters, and in spreading wild and unfounded claims about election fraud.

In a letter to Jones accompanying a subpoena compelling him to testify and turn over records, the committee took note of a Dec. 20, 2020 broadcast of “The Alex Jones Show,” one day after Trump issued a tweet summoning his supporters to DC for a “wild” rally on Jan. 6.

“He’s calling on you now,” Jones told his audience. “He needs your help. We need your help. America needs to stand up.” Jones said he wanted to see 10 million people in Washington, DC on Jan. 6, adding, “We’re going to descend on the swamp January 6th. The president is going to be attending the rallies. He’s announcing he’s going to be there. This is going to be massive.”

On Dec. 29, Jones homed in on an objective for the Jan. 6 rally, scheduled to coincide with Congress’ session to certify the electoral votes.

“Well, let’s just say you’re going to want to go to DC on the 6th,” Jones said. “It will show the globalists we know Trump really won. And it will begin the process one way or another of removing the globalist puppet Joe Biden. And I mean by impeachment or keeping him from getting in on the 20th.”

Filling in for Jones on New Year’s Eve,guest host Matt Bracken added tactical specificity to the mission.

“We’re only going to be saved by millions of Americans by moving to Washington, occupying the entire area, if necessary, storming right into the Capitol,” Bracken said. “We know the rules of engagement. If you have enough people, you can push down any kind of fence or a wall.”

Amplifying the false claims of election fraud during an InfoWars broadcast on Christmas day, Jones offered his audience a fantastical and nightmarish description of the election that was unsupported by any evidence.

“They close everything out,kick everyone out, pull out briefcases,” he said. “Chinese men and vans come in in Michigan and start just shoving it in the machine. We get the footage showing it all. They’re death-threating witnesses. They’re arresting witnesses.”

Weeks before the 2020 election was held, Stone appeared as a guest on Jones’ show on Sept. 10, 2020. There, Stone previewed an election-fraud narrative and called for martial law that would become familiar during the interregnum between the election and Jan. 6.

“The ballots on election night in Nevada should be seized by federal marshals and taken from the state,” Stone said. “They are completely corrupted. No votes should be counted from the state of Nevada if it turns out to be the provable case.We can prove voter fraud in the absentees right now.Send federal marshals to the Clark County Board of Elections, Mr. President. It’s all there.”

Prompted by Jones’ insistence that “it’s clear they think they can steal it,” Stone recommended that Trump appoint a special counsel “with a specific task of forming an election-day operation using the FBI, federal marshals and Republican state officials across the country to be prepared to file legal objections and, if necessary, physically stand in the way of criminal activity.”

On the eve of the attack on the Capitol, Stone interviewed Flynn, Trump’s former national security advisor, at the Willard hotel.

Declaring that “there’s a DNA in the American psyche” that “goes all the way back to 1776” — referring to the Revolutionary War — Flynn reeled off a string of baseless claims of election fraud.

“Everybody in this country, everybody in the world knows that this election on the third of November was a total rip-off,” Flynn said. “It was a fraudulent election. We have had foreign interference from multiple countries — I’ll rattle ’em off if you want to get into that — and Donald Trump was the clear winner. For the next four days after the third of November — from about the 4th through the 7th, 8th of November — they just started stuffing the ballot boxes. And everybody knows it, and they got caught.”

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.”

open secrets

former President Donald Trump’s political operation reported paying more than $4.3 million to people and firms that organized the Jan. 6 rally since the start of the 2020 election. However, questions remain about the full extent of the Trump campaign’s involvement in the “Save America” rally on the day of the Capitol attack as a House select committee’s sweeping requests attempt to shine some light on that day’s events.

On Friday, the U.S. House Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States Capitol sent letters requesting information from 15 social media companies. On Aug. 25, the select committee sent requests to federal agencies for records related to the riot.

The letters ask agencies from the National Archives and Records Administration to the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Department of Justice to expedite the gathering of the records, asking for information within two-weeks.

The House subpoena names Caroline Wren, a veteran GOP fundraiser who received at least $170,000 from the Trump political operation as the campaign’s national finance consultant with the joint fundraising committee. Wren was listed as a “VIP Advisor” on the permit granted by the National Park Service for the Jan. 6 rally.

Megan Powers, one of two operations managers listed on the rally permit, is not listed in the House request but was paid around $300,000 as the Trump campaign’s director of operations. And Make America Great Again PAC paid around $20,000 more to Powers for “recount administrative consulting” in 2021.

None of the other former Trump campaign officials listed on the permit for the rally on Jan. 6 are listed in the initial requests.

The House select committee did request records related to Women for Trump initiative co-chair Gina Loudon, who spoke at the rally. The committee also requested records related to Amy Kremer, who notably co-founded Women for America First, the 501(c)(4) nonprofit “dark money” group that submitted the rally’s permit records to the National Park Service.

The select committee also requested letters related to Dustin Stockton, a co-organizer of the rally. Stockton was also a spokesperson for WeBuildtheWall when former White House strategist Steve Bannon and three others affiliated with the dark money group were charged with fraud related to the online fundraising effort. Stockton was not charged and records related to Bannon were requested by the House select committee.

Stockton and Kremer told ProPublica that they felt they needed to “urgently warn the White House of the possible danger” posed by the rally. They initially took their concerns to Katrina Pierson, a former Trump campaign spokesperson who reportedly served as a liaison between the White House and rally organizers, but after “feeling that they weren’t gaining enough traction” Stockton claims she and Kremer agreed to call White House chief of staff Mark Meadows. However, Kremer denies that she spoke with Meadows or any other White House official about Jan. 6 concerns.

Records requested by the House select committee could shine light on claims about those encounters as well as other outstanding questions about the extent of the Trump campaign’s involvement.

But since Trump’s campaign and joint fundraising committee funneled millions of dollars through layers of opaque firms and shell companies where the ultimate payee is hidden, the public may never know the full extent of the Trump campaign’s payments to organizers involved in the protests.

Trump’s 2020 campaign and joint fundraising committee, the Trump Make America Great Again Committee, spent more than $771 million through American Made Media Consultants LLC during the 2020 election cycle. OpenSecrets data shows Trump’s joint fundraising committee routed another $685,000 through the secretive limited-liability company in 2021 with around $222,000 of that going to text messaging on Jan. 6.

The Federal Election Commission generally does not require campaigns to detail payments vendors make to subcontractors as long as the subcontractor does not work under the direction or control of the campaign and the campaign does not have undue influence over the vendor.

But the role campaign aides and members of Trump’s inner circle played in creating the limited-liability company as a “clearinghouse” to pay vendors, concealing details of millions of dollars in the campaign’s transactions, raises the question of whether it was truly separate from the campaign.

The full roster of people working for Trump’s campaign remains hidden from the public and details of those payments, such as the nature of services provided and the amount of money changing hands, are shrouded in mystery.

The nonpartisan Campaign Legal Center filed an FEC complaint alleging that Trump’s 2020 political operation may have violated federal election law by concealing details of the campaign’s financial dealings.

Recent campaign finance records reviewed by OpenSecrets show Trump’s political operation continued to pay Event Strategies Inc., a firm named in a permit for the rally where two of the rally organizers worked. The firm received payments from Trump aligned super PAC Make America Great Again Action as recently as Aug. 13, FEC records filed Aug. 26 show.

Trump’s political operation paid Event Strategies more than $2.5 million since the start of the 2020 election with around $800,000 of that coming from Trump’s Save America leadership PAC and Make America Great Again Action super PAC in 2021.

Event Strategies is not the only vendor with Trump ties the Make America Great Again Action super PAC reported paying in its new FEC disclosure filed Aug. 26.

On July 15, the Make America Great Again Action super PAC paid $128,125 to Forward Strategies, a firm run by professional fundraiser Meredith O’Rourke, who was reportedly subpoenaed in federal prosecutors’ probe of longtime Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani. The super PAC also paid Red Elephant Strategy, a consulting firm run by Brian Walsh. He was president of America First Policies, the dark money arm of America First Action, Trump’s one-time super PAC of choice and a roughly $1.8 million donor to Make America Great Again Action.

Red Eagle Media Group, a firm that funneled money from Trump’s campaign to shell companies tied to ad buyers at the center of an alleged illegal coordination scheme with the National Rifle Association and America First Action during the 2020 election cycle, received payments from the super PAC as well.

trump political groups have over $100M in the bank

Led by Save America PAC,the former president's new political outfit, the three groups brought in $82 million in the first half the year.

By ALEX ISENSTADT and MERIDITH MCGRAW

Updated: 08/01/2021

Former President Donald Trump’s political committees brought in $82 million during the first half of 2021 and have $102 million in the bank, according to federal filings made public Saturday evening.

The figures, shared first with POLITICO, underscore the profound reach of Trump’s fundraising power. While the former president is out of office and has been deplatformed on social media sites, he maintains a massive online donor network that he could lean on should he wage a 2024 comeback bid.

The scenario is virtually unprecedented: Never in history has a former president banked nine figures’ worth of donations to power a political operation. Over the first six months of the year, Trump’s political groups whipped up supporters with baseless claims of election fraud to pull in cash on a scale similar to the GOP’s official political arms, the Republican National Committee and the party’s House and Senate campaign committees.

The former president’s fundraising was spread across three committees: Save America, a leadership PAC he launched shortly after losing the 2020 election; Make America Great Again PAC, his old campaign account which was converted into a PAC this year; and a joint fundraising outfit that sends its funds to the other two groups. Campaign finance disclosures filed late Saturday evening showed that Save America took in the bulk of the funds — more than $62 million — and finished June with just over $90 million in its account.

Leadership PACs like Save America have a $5,000 donation limit per donor, per year, but there are few restrictions on how those groups can spend their money. Trump has spent little from the fund so far this year, but he can use it to pay for travel, events, advisers, ad campaigns, and supporting candidates and other political activities.

There is one notable restriction: The leadership PAC funds cannot be used to finance a presidential campaign.

Earlier this year, Trump also gave his blessing to a newly formed super PAC, Make America Great Again Action, which is allowed to raise and spend unlimited amounts of money. The organization, which is helmed by former Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski, has already invested heavily to bolster Trump-endorsed candidates in a pair of special elections. The super PAC raised just over $5 million from its founding in early March through the end of June, according to a disclosure filed Saturday evening.

Trump briefly slowed his fundraising efforts following the Jan. 6 Capitol riot but resumed it this spring. Much of what Trump has raised is expected to be used ahead of the 2022 midterm elections, in which the former president is expected to play an active role, according to a person familiar with the matter.

“On behalf of the millions of men and women who share my outrage and want me to continue to fight for the truth, I am grateful for your support,” Trump said in a statement.

Trump has been forceful in urging his supporters to route their cash through Save America, even at the expense of the Republican Party’s campaign organizations. During an appearance before the Conservative Political Action Conference earlier this year, Trump said that that the “only” way to give to Trump-aligned candidates was through Save America. In the weeks after, Trump attorneys sent cease-and-desist letters to the party’s committees requesting that they stop using his name in fundraising appeals, which the party ignored.

Trump’s political operation has been sending out a daily battery of fundraising text messages to supporters, many of them reiterating his unfounded claims that the election was stolen. Trump has spent months lavishing praise on election audits taking place in states like Arizona, though a person familiar with Trump’s campaign finances said that none of his groups have donated money to fund those efforts out of a desire not to taint their independence.

Prior to the rally, Alexander had been in direct contact with Trump insider Caroline Wren, a top Republican fundraiser and former deputy to Kimberly Guilfoyle, Trump Jr.’s girlfriend and the former national chair of Trump Victory, the joint fundraising committee for Trump’s reelection campaign. Wren had previously served as the national finance director of Trump Victory and the finance director for Sen. Lindsay Graham (R-S.C.). She had access to a deep pool of Republican dark money, bushels of which had flowed to hard-right candidates and organizations. To cite one example, Citizens for a Working America, a mysterious PAC, had paid Wren’s fundraising business handsomely in the past and, in 2012, spent almost $165,000 on behalf of Landry’s unsuccessful House reelection effort. In fiscal year 2018, the same PAC gave $930,000 to RAGA.

Wren “played a central role in bringing together the disparate group of activists planning events on Jan. 6,” according to The Wall Street Journal. She reportedly even suggested to Alexander that he reschedule his Wild Protest at the Capitol for 1 p.m. When contacted by HuffPost on Feb. 27, Wren requested that questions be emailed to her. She never responded to them.

In an appearance on Alex Jones’ show, however, Alexander offered a narrative about how the Jan. 6 megarally came together that supported The Wall Street Journal’s account.

“We were going to start at 9 or 10 a.m., and we were going to have 30 members of Congress with us. When the Trump campaign called and said, ‘Let’s combine all the events,’” Alexander said on the show. “They were like, ‘The president doesn’t want to stomp on your grassroots effort. What can we do for you?’”

On the morning of the insurrection, Alexander went on SiriusXM’s Breitbart News Daily show to promote his Wild Protest one last time. The guest host that day was his Stop the Steal partner, Ed Martin. Alexander told Martin about another, more recent, call he said he’d received from the Trump inner circle.

“[Trump]’s in fighter mode, and today will determine which Republicans are going to suffer his wrath going forward,” Alexander explained. “I got a call last night from Kimberly Guilfoyle, and none of us are stopping. I know you’re not stopping, Ed. I’m not stopping. StoptheSteal.us is not stopping. The family is not stopping.”

Guilfoyle did not respond to a request for comment left via a cellphone linked to her name, or to questions HuffPost emailed to her through Alexandra Preate, a public relations executive and longtime friend who has also served as Steve Bannon’s spokeswoman.

former President Donald Trump’s political operation reported paying more than $4.3 million to people and firms that organized the Jan. 6 rally since the start of the 2020 election.

None of the other former Trump campaign officials listed on the permit for the rally on Jan. 6 are listed in the initial requests.

The super PAC also paid Red Elephant Strategy, a consulting firm run by Brian Walsh. He was president of America First Policies, the dark money arm of America First Action,Trump’s one-time super PAC of choice and a roughly $1.8 million donor to Make America Great Again Action.

The former president’s fundraising was spread across three committees: Save America, a leadership PAC he launched shortly after losing the 2020 election; Make America Great Again PAC, his old campaign account which was converted into a PAC this year; and a joint fundraising outfit that sends its funds to the other two groups. Campaign finance disclosures filed late Saturday evening showed that Save America took in the bulk of the funds — more than $62 million — and finished June with just over $90 million in its account.

:{:{:{

}:}:}:

Leadership PACs like Save America have a $5,000 donation limit per donor, per year, but there are few restrictions on how those groups can spend their money. Trump has spent little from the fund so far this year, but he can use it to pay for travel, events, advisers, ad campaigns, and supporting candidates and other political activities.

:{:{:{

}:}:}:

There is one notable restriction: The leadership PAC funds cannot be used to finance a presidential campaign.

:{:{:{

}:}:}:

Earlier this year, Trump also gave his blessing to a newly formed super PAC, Make America Great Again Action, which is allowed to raise and spend unlimited amounts of money. The organization, which ishelmed by former Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski, has already invested heavily to bolster Trump-endorsed candidates in a pair of special elections. The super PAC raised just over $5 million from its founding in early March through the end of June, according to a disclosure filed Saturday evening.

:{:{:{

}:}:}:

Trump briefly slowed his fundraising efforts following the Jan. 6 Capitol riot but resumed it this spring. Much of what Trump has raised is expected to be used ahead of the 2022 midterm elections, in which the former president is expected to play an active role, according to a person familiar with the matter.

:{:{:{

}:}:}:

“On behalf of the millions of men and women who share my outrage and want me to continue to fight for the truth, I am grateful for your support,” Trump said in a statement.

:{:{:{

}:}:}:

Trump has been forceful in urging his supporters to route their cash through Save America, even at the expense of the Republican Party’s campaign organizations. During an appearance before the Conservative Political Action Conference earlier this year, Trump said that that the “only” way to give to Trump-aligned candidates was through Save America. In the weeks after, Trump attorneys sent cease-and-desist letters to the party’s committees requesting that they stop using his name in fundraising appeals, which the party ignored.

Wren “played a central role in bringing together the disparate group of activists planning events on Jan. 6,” according to The Wall Street Journal. She reportedly even suggested to Alexander that he reschedule his Wild Protest at the Capitol for 1 p.m. When contacted by HuffPost on Feb. 27, Wren requested that questions be emailed to her. She never responded to them.

:{:{:{

In an appearance on Alex Jones’ show, however, Alexander offered a narrative about how the Jan. 6 megarally came together that supported The Wall Street Journal’s account.
