During an interview Thursday with WHO Radio's Jan Mickelson, Bachmann said Kent Sorensen was approached by the Ron Paul campaign after her poll numbers "surged" following Fox News' Sioux City debate.
"We were gaining tremendous momentum in all 99 counties," Bachmann said. "People were flipping away from Ron Paul, they were coming and deciding to vote for Michele Bachmann, and that was when the Ron Paul campaign offered money."
According to RealClearPolitics' poll average data, Bachmann's numbers did see a temporary jump following the debate. On the day it occurred, December 15, Bachmann averaged 9.6 percent in Iowa. She jumped up to 10 percent on December 17, but was down to 9.7 percent on December 19. Paul, however, did not dip in the polls. He averaged at 16.6 percent on the day of the debate, 18.7 percent on December 17, and 21.7 percent on December 19.
Bachmann also reiterated her claim that Sorensen had personally told her that he planned to back Paul.
"He told me himself that he was offered a lot of money by the Ron Paul campaign," Bachmann said to Mickelson.
Sorensen told HuffPost on Wednesday that he did not notify Bachmann before making his decision.
