    Kari Lake Calls for Arizona GOP Chair to Resign After Leaked Audio



    1/24/2024


    Arizona GOP Senate candidate Kari Lake called for the state’s Republican Party chair, Jeff DeWit, to resign after an audio recording surfaced of him appearing to present Ms. Lake with an offer of money to leave politics.
    The recording, published by The Daily Mail, dates back to last March and features a conversation between Ms. Lake and Mr. DeWit. The audio suggests that the Arizona GOP chair brought an offer from unspecified “powerful people” in exchange for Ms. Lake stepping away from the political scene for two years.
    “He’s got to resign,” Ms. Lake insisted during an interview with an NBC reporter on Tuesday night, just before former President Donald Trump’s appearance at his New Hampshire primary victory party.

    “We can’t have somebody who’s corrupt and compromised running the Republican Party,” she added.
    In the recording, Mr. DeWit is heard suggesting that powerful figures want Ms. Lake to stay out of the Senate race for two years. Ms. Lake, however, vehemently rejects the proposal, emphasizing her commitment to standing with President Trump against corruption in Washington, D.C.
    “There are very powerful people who wanna keep you out. But they’re willing to put their money where their mouth is in a big way. So this conversation never happened,” Mr. DeWit is heard saying in the recording.

    Ms. Lake responds firmly: “This is crazy though. They should want me. I’m a great candidate. People love me. These people are corrupt.”
    As the conversation progresses, Mr. DeWit implies that the motive behind the offer is not control or agenda but the ability to raise money to win elections. Ms. Lake, however, remains resolute, expressing frustration that unnamed figures would attempt to buy her out rather than work with her.
    The recording reveals Mr. DeWit making multiple offers, even suggesting that Ms. Lake could take a pause for a couple of years and then resume her political career. Ms. Lake adamantly rejects each offer, stating that the issue is not about money but the good of the country.

    After being asked to name her price, Ms. Lake responds that she could not be bought for even a billion dollars. She appears frustrated with the attempt to influence her political decisions and expresses a commitment to standing with President Trump against Washington corruption.
    Following the publication of the recording, Ms. Lake said: “I want corruption rooted out of our government. I don’t care if it’s on the Democrat side or the Republican side. We are going to root out corruption.”
    She expressed admiration for President Trump, highlighting his resistance to corruption and pledging to give the government back to the people.

    Last March, Ms. Lake teased that she had been presented with a bribe on behalf of “some powerful people back east” to stay out of the Senate race. The recording has now been released 10 months later, ahead of the state party’s annual meeting on Saturday.
    The Epoch Times could not independently verify the recording and contacted Ms. Lake’s team and the Arizona GOP for additional comment.

    Here is a summary of the audio recording:
    “There are very powerful people who wanna keep you out. But they’re willing to put their money where their mouth is in a big way. So this conversation never happened,” Mr. DeWit says in the recording.
    Ms. Lake replies: “This is crazy though. They should want me. I’m a great candidate. People love me. These people are corrupt.”
    The Arizona Senate candidate expresses frustration that these unnamed figures would rather bribe her to leave politics than work with her “because they don’t own me.”
    He denies that it’s about ownership or control but that “they want you to be on their team.”
    “But if they’re pushing a globalist agenda, I can’t do that,” she says. “So what do they want? What do they want me to do?” Ms. Lake asks.
    “They want you to stay out for two years.”
    Ms. Lake scoffs and laughs.

    “So, this is what I can offer you … So, the ask I got today from back east was: ‘Is there any companies out there or something that could just put her on the payroll to keep her out?’” Mr. Dewit says.
    Ms. Lake says, “This is about defeating Trump, and I think that’s a bad, bad thing for our country.”
    “This is about the final death blow to Trump, and I don’t think that’s good for our country,” she adds. “It’s not good for our country, Jeff.”
    “It’s not,” he responds, “but at the same time I’m not even sure Trump can win again.”
    Mr. DeWit says that in his view, asking Ms. Lake to leave politics is “not really about control or agenda, it’s about the ability to raise money to win.”
    “If they’re going to steal the election to make me and our movement go away, I’m not letting them do that. I owe it to the people of Arizona to carry their torch and their voice.”
    “Or,” he cuts in, “you don’t go away. But you pause.”
    “This is … the battle is right now, Jeff.”
    “You pause.”
    “No,” she says. “The battle is right now. The battle is right now. And we don’t have time to pause on this battlefield.”
    Becoming indignant, Ms. Lake says she’s offended by “whoever these people are … that these people people don’t give a [expletive] about our country.”
    Mr. DeWit suggests she sees it as an honor they’re making the bribe, as it “means they know how powerful you are.”

    ‘Is There a Number?’


    As Ms. Lake tries to wrap up the conversation, he makes another offer.
    “Just say, is there a number at which … ” he says, before she cuts in, asking: “I can be bought? That’s what it’s about.”
    “You can take a pause for a couple of years,” he counters. “You can go right back to what you’re doing.”
    Ms. Lake repeatedly rebuffs him and says she wouldn’t do it for a billion dollars.
    “This is not about money, it’s about our country,” she says.
    Angry, Ms. Lake says: “I’m not going to let these people who hate our [expletive] country tell me not to run. You should call them and tell them to get behind me. I can win and they should get behind me.”
    He later pitches the thought that she could have “a bigger voice to fight for stuff,” having already suggested becoming a “talking head.”
    “I don’t want to deal with people like this. These people are un-American and I think they’re unethical, and I would be absolutely immoral if I did that. That’s immoral. I couldn’t I couldn’t look at myself in the mirror,” she says.
    “It’s just, it’s very powerful people that are willing to … they really want someone different, they want new names,” he says.
    Ms. Lake expressed frustration with the bribe, saying she’s offended they’re “trying to buy me out,” and that these people “just don’t give a [expletive] about our country.”
    Mr. DeWite responds: “Do you understand though? You should be honored that that means they know how powerful you are.”
    “Very few people get this,” he adds.
    “I’m [expletive] that they don’t care more about our country,” she says. “It’s all about the mighty dollar to them. And that’s offensive.”

    ‘The Swamp Doesn’t Pre-Approve of Me’


    As Ms. Lake appears to usher Mr. DeWit away, he makes his final pitch, including suggesting that he might be killed if he were to publicly expose the figures behind the bribe.
    “You know what it is? The people don’t get to choose their elected officials unless they’re pre-approved by the swamp. And the swamp doesn’t pre-approve of me.”
    “You need a strong party to win,” Mr. DeWit counters.
    “I think you should go public with this and then say, hey, these people don’t want …” she says, before he cuts in.
    “Then I turn my key in my car and just,” he makes the sound of an explosion.
    “Tell them I’m not flattered. I’m offended that they …”
    “Don’t tell anybody we had this conversation.”
    “I’m offended that they don’t care about our country more,” she says.
    “I actually wish you just give me a counteroffer this big. Give me a counteroffer.”
    “I can’t, I can’t be bought. I can’t.”

    Kari Lake Calls for Arizona GOP Chair to Resign After Leaked Audio Empty Arizona GOP Chairman Resigns Amid Kari Lake Bribery Allegations

    Arizona GOP Chairman Resigns Amid Kari Lake Bribery Allegations

    1/24/2024
    Updated: 
    1/24/2024

    The chairman said he was ’set up' by Ms. Lake’s team. Ms. Lake’s campaign denies his claims.



    The chairman of the Arizona Republican Party said he resigned from his role on Jan. 23 after a recording of him was leaked that apparently showed him offering U.S. Senate candidate Kari Lake money to stay out of that race.


    In his resignation statement, Jeff DeWit suggested that Ms. Lake’s team allegedly secretly recorded their conversation before leaking it to the media. He also accused her team of threatening to release more recordings, which he described as being taken out of context, although he provided few details.


    “I said things I regret, but I realize when hearing Lake’s recording that I was set up,” Mr. DeWit said in a statement. “I believe she orchestrated this entire situation to have control over the state party and it is obvious from the recording that she crafted her performance responses with the knowledge that she was recording it, intending to use this recording later to portray herself as a hero.”

    He said the recording and release of the audio was tantamount to a “deceptive tactic” and said it was a “selectively edited audio recording.”


    “This is all such a distraction to that mission that I am doing as Ms. Lake wishes and am stepping down as Chairman of the Arizona Republican Party,” he said.


    Going further, Mr. DeWit said his relationship with Ms. Lake was “based on friendship” and the “conversation that is now being scrutinized was an open, unguarded exchange between friends in the living room of her house,” according to the statement.
    “I genuinely believed I was offering a helpful perspective to someone I considered a friend,” he said.


    “I received an ultimatum from Lake’s team: resign today or face the release of a new, more damaging recording. I am truly unsure of its contents, but considering our numerous past open conversations as friends, I have decided not to take the risk.”


    A spokesperson for the Lake campaign released a statement on Jan. 23 saying the “tape speaks for itself” and noted that Ms. Lake “rejected DeWit’s multiple attempts to offer her money and corporate board seats in exchange for Kari not running for public office.”

    No one from her campaign “threatened or blackmailed DeWit,” the campaign said in the statement. The campaign didn’t respond to claims that he was secretly recorded or how the audio reached the media.


    Representatives of Ms. Lake didn’t respond by press time to a request by The Epoch Times for comment.
    The Daily Mail, a British tabloid, first reported on the audio recording on Jan. 23, apparently revealing a March 2023 conversation between Mr. DeWit and Ms. Lake months before she announced that she was running for Arizona’s U.S. Senate seat. She said in the recording that she won’t take any offers.
