Transcript reveals Publix heir considered blowing millions in support of Jan. 6 protests
A new transcript is shedding light on Julia “Julie” Fancelli's intent to offer $3 million to support for those who were involved in the Jan. 6 protests that transpired prior to Trump supporters storming the U.S. Capitol.
According to HuffPost, documentation of the Publix heir's testimony before the House Select Committee includes details about the donations she was willing to provide.
The report also noted that InfoWars host and conspiracy theorist Alex Stone, Trump aide Roger Stone and Charlie Kirk also benefited from Fancelli's contributions.

"Extremist conspiracy peddler Alex Jones apparently scored $200,000 from Fancelli, longtime Donald Trump aide Roger Stone was provided a private flight to Washington, D.C., and young Trump disciple Charlie Kirk — head of Turning Point USA — received $1.25 million ostensibly to transport masses of Trump supporters to the capital, according to the transcript of her questioning released by the committee Thursday," the news outlet reports.
Out of Fancelli's donation, Stone was supposed to use a quarter of the $200,000 for the "rally operating budget."
The latest on the transcript follows a previous Washington Post report about Fancelli's contribution. According to that report, she was listed as one of the largest publicly known contributors to former President Donald Trump's January 6 "Stop the Steal" rally.
"The Washington Post earlier reported that Fancelli was the largest publicly known donor to the rally — and had wired $650,000 to groups behind the 'Stop the Steal' organizing," the news outlet reports. "But the transcript of her questioning, which cites wire transfers and various communications, has revealed that her financial role was even greater than previously known. She has told the Post she had no idea the event would become violent."
As reports began circulating about Fancelli's contribution, Publix previously released a statement distancing from her actions. “We are deeply troubled by Ms. Fancelli’s involvement in the events that led to the tragic attack on the Capitol on Jan. 6,” the company said last year when questioned about her role in the rally efforts.
