A conservative political espionage case to dig up dirt on Democrats and moderate Republicans viewed as enemies of former President Donald Trump ran through Fort Collins, The New York Times reported in an investigation.
Beau Maier and Sofia LaRocca used large campaign donations to infiltrate progressive groups and political campaigns, including a $1,250 donation to Secretary of State Jena Griswold, which allowed them to a Washington, D.C., fundraiser where they met Colorado s chief election official, the Times reported.
Griswold s campaign declined to comment on the article on Monday.
While the couple with extensive conservative ties sought first to infiltrate political circles in Wyoming, they also operated in Colorado and Arizona, while they lived in Fort Collins.
