AZ GOP Leader Tried To Bribe Kari Lake Not To Run For Senate

Just named the chair of the Arizona Republican Party, one of Jeff DeWit's first jobs last year was to try and bribe Kari Lake not to run for the U.S. Senate. The conversation did not go all that well. DeWit told her not to mention the conversation to anyone but of course it was recorded (they were in the same room) and of course, it's now been leaked.

Calls are in for DeWit's immediate resignation, naturally.

Update: He's now resigned.

An audio recording obtained by DailyMail.com reveals the extraordinary moment when what appears to be Arizona's top Republican official tried to bribe populist firebrand Kari Lake not to run in the state's Senate race.

Jeff DeWit, 51, chair of the Arizona Republican Party, can be heard asking Lake, a close ally of Donald Trump, to name her price to stay out of politics for two years.

'There are very powerful people who want to keep you out,' he tells her in a conversation recorded at the start of March last year.
