Trump Donor Sues Pro-trump Group For $2.5m For Failing To Prove Voter Fraud by valarmorghulis: 5:51pm On Nov 26, 2020
A North Carolina money manager is suing a pro-Trump group for $2.5 million after the group failed to show evidence of voter fraud in the 2020 presidential election or provide him with updates on their efforts.

Fred Eshelman donated the money to True the Vote Inc., a Houston-based organization, which had promised to "investigate, litigate, and expose suspected illegal balloting and fraud in the 2020 general election," according to Bloomberg.

Eshelman, who is the founder of Eshelman Ventures LLC, now wants his money back because True the Vote did not provide him with information about their progress and he believes they can't achieve what they claimed.

True the Vote filed four lawsuits following the election on November 3 but has subsequently dropped all of them.

"While we stand by the voters' testimony that was brought forth, barriers to advancing our arguments, coupled with constraints on time, made it necessary for us to pursue a different path," the group announced on its website on November 17.

Eshelman wired the group $2 million on November 5 and then sent them a further $500,000 the following week but True the Vote did not provide him with updates on their activities. He claimed he regularly asked for information but was "met with vague responses, platitudes, and empty promises."

As state deadlines for the certification of votes approached, Eshelman reportedly realized the group couldn't achieve what they claimed and so asked for his donation back.

True the Vote offered him $1 million if he agreed not to sue, his complaint alleges. His suit against them has now been filed in District Court in the Southern District of Texas.

It's not clear at this early stage if Eshelman's case will succeed but the veteran businessman appears to have the necessary funds to pursue his complaint. In 2014, he donated $100 million to the School of Pharmacy at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill, where he was a student.

Several conservative groups have made fundraising pitches based on unsubstantiated claims of voter fraud in the presidential election, including President Donald Trump's campaign.

There is no evidence of widespread voter fraud or irregularities during the 2020 election despite the Trump campaign's ongoing and largely unsuccessful litigation efforts.

Practically they can not question the supreme coward Diletor. As that will be against the oath they signed before admitted as Ipob
Even if Nnamdi is caught sleeping with fellow IPoB wife , you can not question him, that's the part and parcel of the oath they signed

Don the con.
When some people initially raised the alarm & sounded the warning that Trump's campaign & it's allies wants to con people by making them make donations to reclaim the alleged stolen election which is really meant for his Leadership PAC when he vacates office, they said its a lie.
The question people should ask is why can't he used his own money for this legal fight. Afterall he is a billionaire.
