What They Said

Last year, Arizona candidate for U.S. Senate Kari Lake claimed that someone tried to bribe her to not run in 2024. Media questioned the story, but this January, the Daily Mail released a recording of a March 2023 conversation between Lake and Arizona GOP chair Jeff DeWit, who has since resigned. In a statement issued January 24, he called the recording both “selectively edited” and “taken out of context,” and said its release was a “deceptive tactic” that “undermines the integrity of private discussions critical for party leadership.” 

Lake: So, what’s going on? I mean, assuming this is our friend?

DeWit: Ah, this is, this is, this is back East. They … there are very powerful people that want to keep you out.
