A White House correspondent for Newsmax sent a full article he planned to publish about President Trump’s voter fraud commission to the head of that commission for review, according to new documents released on Friday.
John Gizzi emailed commission chief Kris Kobach, the full text of his article, including Kobach’s own quotes, and asked him to review it and make sure it checked out.
The article, ultimately published as “States Cooperating With Election Fraud Investigation” appeared on Newsmax on July 25, 2017 — the same day as his email to Kobach.
