Fred Eshelman, owner of a venture capital firm, sued True the Vote Inc. today. He claims it duped him into giving it $2.5 million for its Validate the Vote 2020 campaign to file lawsuits to uncover fraud in the Nov. elections on behalf of President Trump. @CourthouseNews
He says True the Vote's founder and attorney said they were going to file lawsuits in the seven closest battleground states with the goal of obtaining election data in discovery and needed $7.3 million for the effort.
But it filed just four lawsuits, one each in Wis., Mich., Penn. and Ga. And it voluntarily dismissed them all Nov. 16. "The decision to abandon those cases was made in concert with counsel for the Trump campaign," the lawsuit states.
He says the gift was "conditional" on True the Vote following through with its plans. He seeks an order declaring him the rightful owner of the $2.5 million and requiring the company to return it.
