This is one of the ways the Deep State, and this IS the Deep State, controls who we get to pick from. Their goal is to ensure no matter who we pick, it's someone they own.
They have no blackmail material on Kari, so they try to buy her off to back out.
Pro Tip: If she had accepted the buyout they would then have the material to blackmail her at a later date.
This guy is clearly slime, and he demonstrates the METHOD they use to bribe and attempt to control people.
Needs to be prosecuted for bribery -- and phone records searched to determine who exactly contacted him to do this.

Damn, that is a great observation.
I assumed she recorded it and leaked it.
Now that you mention it, maybe someone else was conspiring with DeWit to secretly record it, so they could have blackmail material on her.
But ... then why would the leak it now?
No evidence that she accepted.
Whoever leaked this did so to go after DeWit.
It never ceases to amaze what dirty scum infest the arena of politics.
Maybe they BOTH recorded it.
I hope it was the damn Marines recording it.
