A member of the House panel investigating the Capitol riot said that the fiancée of Donald Trump was paid $60,000 to speak at a Trump rally.
Donald Trump Jr. is on stage with Kim Guilfoyle.
According to a CNN reporter, the committee has evidence that Trump's family benefited from donations taken in by Trump-affiliated groups after the election.
She said on CNN that Guilfoyle was paid $60,000 to give a three-minute speech near the White House the morning before the Capitol riot.
Lofgren didn't explain how the committee came to know about the payment.
Forbes reached out to Guilfoyle's lawyer.
The January 6 committee used Monday's hearing to offer evidence on how Trump denied his 2020 reelection loss and promoted baseless voter fraud claims. During the hearing, Lofgren argued that Trump used lies to raise money. After the election, the Trump campaign tried to get supporters to donate to a fund that wasn't real. Much of the $250 million raised by Trump and his allies after the election went to Save America PAC, which later didled out over $200,000 to the Trump Hotel Collection and made seven-figure payments to several organizations linked to the Trump Administration.
Lofgren told CNN that it was up to someone else to decide if the campaign broke any laws.
Lofgren isn't saying it's a crime but he thinks it's a grift
