Four days after his audit visit, Meadows asked Georgia Deputy Secretary of State Jordan Fuchs whether Fulton County signature verification could be sped up before January 6 if the Trump campaign assisted financially. The message joined a federal official's access, a campaign funding offer, and a desired election timetable. No cited evidence establishes that Georgia accepted money or altered the result.
