American who donated $ 2.5 million sues pro-Trump group for lack of evidence of fraud
A pro-Trump group that has pledged to uncover evidence of alleged fraud by the Democrats in the US presidential election has been charged by one of its backers. The North Carolina man, who donated $ 2.5 million ($ 2.1 million), is angry that nothing of the promise has been kept.
Fred Eshelman, a manager of an investment fund, wants his money back and says he asked "regularly and repeatedly" about the progress of the project. His requests kept getting "vague responses, platitudes, and hollow promises," said Eshelman, who has filed suit in a federal court in Houston, Texas.
True the Vote
The group, called True the Vote, had pledged "to investigate, uncover and litigate suspected illegal voting and fraud in the 2020 election." In the week after the election, the group filed four lawsuits. Those cases were withdrawn last week. “While we stand by voters' testimony, hurdles to arguing our cause, combined with time constraints, make it necessary for us to take a different path,” the group said in a statement posted on its website.
No proof
Despite numerous allegations of electoral fraud and irregularities by President Donald Trump, the election loser, so far no evidence has been presented to indicate this. The result, that Joe Biden is expected to become president with 306 electors, has so far remained unchanged.
Eshelman was attracted by True the Vote's plan, which involved multiple lawsuits in swing states, collecting complaints from whistleblowers, mobilizing Republican support, and conducting large-scale data research. The court documents state that he transferred $ 2 million to the group on November 5 and another half a million dollars a week after that.
Offer
When the group was unable to report on its activities, it became clear to Eshelman that the group was also unable to implement the plan, he said. When he requested his money back, he was offered $ 1 million and asked not to press charges.
My conclusion:
The whole "Don't steal the elections" is a huge scam.
Trump would say: It is the biggest scam in history of mankind.
