The chairman of the top outside group dedicated to electing Republican attorneys general has resigned his position in the wake of a show of force by rivals from other states, months after it supported a rally with then-President Trump that turned into an insurrectionist attack on the U.S. Capitol.

Georgia Attorney General Chris Carr (R) last week stepped down as chairman of the Republican Attorneys General Association (RAGA), citing a "significant difference of opinion" with the group's strategic direction.

He is the latest in a string of departures from the organization, including its executive director, Adam Piper, who resigned under what sources said was pressure from the group in the days after the Jan. 6 insurrection.
 
At 1 p.m., we will march to the Capitol building and call on Congress to stop the steal," said the robocall, first reported by the investigative organization Documented. "We are hoping patriots like you will join us to continue to fight to protect the “integrity of our elections."

The Rule of Law Defense Fund, which paid for the robocall, was listed a participant in the rally that preceded the insurrection. In a statement at the time, Piper insisted his organizations played no role in planning or sponsoring the event. But sources who were privy to internal emails said Piper was present at a Jan. 5 meeting in which top Trump administration officials planned the rally.
 
The other faction's leaders include Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton (R), who spoke at the Jan. 6 rally

Utah Attorney General Sean Reyes (R)

Louisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry (R)


South Carolina Attorney General Alan Wilson (R).
 
Thirty states will elect attorneys general next year, including 14 states where Republicans currently control the office - Georgia, Alabama and Texas among them.

A key group of Republican attorneys general that donated $150,000 to co-sponsor the 6 January rally where Donald Trump pushed his false claims of election fraud before the Capitol attack could draw scrutiny from a House committee investigating the events on or in the lead-up to the riot.
The group – a part of the Republican Attorneys General Association (Raga) called the Rule of Law Defense Fund – has attracted strong criticism from watchdogs and ex-prosecutors even as Raga looks forward to next year’s midterm elections and many of its members are fighting on numerous fronts against Joe Biden’s agenda.

WASHINGTON — A wealthy Trump donor who helped finance the rally in Washington, D.C., on Jan. 6 also gave $150,000 to the nonprofit arm of the Republican Attorneys General Association, records show, funds that a person familiar with the contribution said were intended in part to promote the rally. The nonprofit organization paid for a robocall touting a march that afternoon to the U.S. Capitol to “call on Congress to stop the steal.”
 
On Dec. 29, Julie Jenkins Fancelli, daughter of the founder of the Publix grocery store chain, gave the previously undisclosed contribution to RAGA’s nonprofit Rule of Law Defense Fund, or RLDF, records reviewed by The Washington Post show. On the same day, the records show that Fancelli gave $300,000 to Women for America First, the “Stop the Steal” group that obtained a permit for the rally featuring former president Donald Trump.
 
On a hidden camera, Georgia Attorney General Chris Carr can be heard saying, "We can't do what we do without your help."

Selling access to events like this has helped the Republican Attorneys General Association, or RAGA, raise more than $20 million in the last year and a half – twice as much as their Democratic counterparts.

"Look, the other side has been very energized and there's no two ways about it," Carr could be heard saying.
 
over $50,000 or more to RAGA and found 46 of those donors had matters under consideration by a state attorney general or had recently settled. Others needed help from the AG community. The NRA, for instance, made a $700,000 donation to RAGA four weeks after the Las Vegas shooting.

It was a six-fold increase from the previous year and came as even some Republicans were calling for new gun control measures. One month later, 24 of the 27 GOP attorneys general wrote a letter urging Congress to pass concealed carry legislation – a top priority for the NRA.
