Lake made her call for\u200d DeWit&#8217;s resignation during a press conference at\u2063 former\u200c President Donald Trump&#8217;s New Hampshire presidential primary \u2063watch\u2063 party.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;He&#8217;s gotta resign. We can&#8217;t have somebody who&#8217;s corrupt and compromised \u200drunning the Republican Party,&#8221; Lake stated. &#8220;I want corruption rooted out of our government, regardless of party affiliation. We are going to \u200broot\u2062 out corruption.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Lake, \u200da \u2064staunch\u2062 supporter of Trump, believes \u200dthat the former president is the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/colonial-pipeline-looks-for-a-cyber-security-manager-following-ransomware-attack\/\" title=\"Colonial Pipeline Looks For A Cyber Security Manager Following Ransomware Attack\">ideal candidate<\/a> to \u2063combat corruption in politics. When asked about \u200dpotential replacements for DeWit, Lake admitted she hadn&#8217;t given it much thought but emphasized the importance of addressing corruption.<\/p>\n<p>The\u2063 audio allegedly captures\u2064 DeWit \u200dinquiring about the possibility of \u200bfinancial compensation to dissuade Lake from entering \u2064the Senate \u2064race.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;So, the ask\u200b I got today from back east was: &#8216;Is there any companies out there or \u2064something that could just put her on the payroll to keep her out?'&#8221; DeWit can be heard saying.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;$10 million, \u200b$20\u2062 million, $30 [million] &#8230; no, no, no. A billion? No. This is not about money; this is about our country,&#8221; Lake responded. &#8220;I think it&#8217;s disturbing that &#8230; anybody would even think \u2064this is \u2014&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>DeWit also mentioned in the audio that there were &#8220;very\u2064 powerful people&#8221; \u2063who\u200c wanted\u200c Lake out of the race for Senator\u2063 Kyrsten Sinema&#8217;s seat.<\/p>\n<p>Lake,\u2064 who \u200dannounced her candidacy last year, is widely expected to be the GOP\u200b nominee in what could potentially be a \u200dthree-way race. While Rep. Ruben Gallego is seen as the likely Democratic nominee, Sinema, the incumbent, has not yet revealed\u200d her plans for 2024.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/kari-lake-arizona-gop-chairman-jeff-dewit-resign-bribe\">Click \u200bhere<\/a> to read more from\u200d The Washington Examiner.<\/p>\n<p> <\/p>\n<h2> What actions \u200bare\u200d being taken\u200b by the Arizona Republican Party to address the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/grassley-burisma-exec-behind-biden-bribery-scandal-allegedly-kept-17-recordings-of-talks-with-joe-hunter\/\" title=\"Grassley claims Burisma exec had 17 recordings of talks with Joe and Hunter related to bribery scandal.\">alleged bribery scandal<\/a>\u2064 and ensure\u200b the integrity\u2062 of the upcoming Senate race?<\/h2>\n<p><span>  Drop out of the\u200d race.
