NEW: Nikki Haley's secret donors revealed

Politico obtained a tax doc divulging names of 71 donors who anonymously gave to Haley's dark-money nonprofit after she left the Trump admin

Clearest picture yet of how a potential '24 contender is gearing up

politico.com/news/2022/08/2…
Haley team moved to stop pub of this story, with attorney @olmikester writing in a cease and desist that Politico “was not authorized to receive the confidential tax return information, nor is Politico entitled to print, publish, or even retain it.”

politico.com/news/2022/08/2…
Lynn Oberlander, an attorney for Ballard Spahr representing Politico, responded that the reporting on the funding of U.S. political activity “is in the public interest and fully protected by the First Amendment to the United States Constitution.”

NEWS - RNC Chair Ronna McDaniel rallied the major donors in a call today to get behind the GOP’s efforts to flip the Senate

The plea comes amid rising concerns in the party over its candidates’ lagging fundraising totals and its overall prospects.

politico.com/news/2022/08/2…
McDaniel said GOP candidates were getting swamped by Dem fundraising, particularly after the SCOTUS Roe ruling.

She also said small GOP donors had been "decimated" by the economy and that it would be heavily reliant on big contributors

politico.com/news/2022/08/2…
The call comes as McConnell mobilizes to close a massive $ shortfall the party is facing. McConnell spent August dialing up big donors

Cheney at the Reagan Library: "we are confronting a domestic threat we have never faced before– a former president who is attempting to unravel the foundations of our Constitutional Republic...."
"...And he is aided by Republican leaders and elected officials who have made themselves willing hostages to this dangerous and irrational man.”
Cheney: "As the full picture is coming into view through our work on the January 6 committee, it has become clear that the efforts Donald Trump oversaw and engaged in were even more chilling and threatening than we imagined."

Peter Thiel hosted a fundraiser tonight at his Florida home for Harriet Hageman, who's primarying Liz Cheney. According to audio of the event, Thiel in his intro called Cheney the "ringleader" of the '"Treasonous Ten,'" referring to the 10 House Rs who backed Trump's impeachment
Thiel: "The way we’re going to defeat the left, the way we’re going to roll them back, it’s going to start in the Republican Party, that’s where we have some problems, we’ve got to clean house there first.”

Thiel is also backing a primary opponent to Jaime Herrera Beutler
Hageman says in her remarks that she's met with Rand Paul and several House members while in DC

Wouldn't be a huge surprise to see Paul get involved in this race given the past bad blood between him and Cheney

A @burgessev @MZanona classic from '19 >>
