Not sure what to think about this (tried searching, sorry if this is a duplicate).
Not quite, says Mark Weinhardt, a Des Moines lawyer working on behalf of the Iowa Senate Ethics Committee. Weinhardt suggests that Sorenson’s last-minute switch was thanks to a $25,000 check.
According to Weinhardt, Sorenson received a $25,000 check from a high-ranking official in the Paul campaign days before he left Bachmann’s campaign. That check was never cashed. After further investigation, Weinhardt claims that Sorenson received a total of $73,000 in payments that may be from Paul’s aides, which includes the $25,000 check and installments of $8,000 monthly payments over six months. The payments were sent by wire transfers from ICT, Inc., of Hyattsville, Md.
Days before the caucuses, Sorenson said on Fox News that the Paul campaign “never offered a nickel” for the endorsement.
Now, after being subpoenaed, he is pleading the Fifth. Sorenson resigned from office on Wednesday.
