In a statement announcing his resignation, DeWit said he had planned to fight to keep his job until Lake’s team gave him an ultimatum to resign or she would release another, more damaging recording.

“I am truly unsure of its contents, but considering our numerous past open conversations as friends, I have decided not to take the risk,” DeWit said.

Lake’s senior advisers, Garrett Ventry and Caroline Wren, said in a statement that “no one from the Kari Lake campaign threatened or blackmailed DeWit.”
