Over the past seven months, Reps. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., and Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., have collectively funeled more than $25,000 to a group run by the architect of the "Eastman" memo, one of Donald Trump's legally dubious schemes to subvert the 2020 election.
The payments, reported by The New York Times' Shane Goldmacher, were reportedly made by Put America First, a joint fundraising committee founded by both Gaetz and Greene in anticipation of their nationwide "America First" revival tour, according to Politico. The recipient of those payments, the Constitutional Counsel Group, is a law firm led by right-winger attorney John Eastman, who advised Trump on how to overturn the election by "nullifying" electoral votes in certain battleground states.
