Full Hour | Today, Dom led off the Dom Giordano Program by offering up what’s to come on today’s show, telling that he’s invited Mark Houck, who’s running against Brian Fitzpatrick. Yesterday, news broke that Houck allegedly siphoned off campaign funds, putting money into trust funds for his children. Dom wants to give Houck the chance to defend himself, hoping to hear what exactly happened here. Then, Dom moves over into a conversation about Tucker Carlson interviewing Putin, explaining why he doesn’t necessarily thing this to be a net positive for conservatives in an upcoming election.
Then, Dom welcomes in Mark Houck, to hear his response to accusations that he was dropping out and that nearly $500,000 of money donated to him has disappeared. Houck notes that both of these accusations are completely false. First, Houck tells that he was never considering dropping out, but de-registered a secondary website, which for some reason gave some the idea that he was leaving the race, with Houck explaining the move was purely administrative. Then, Houck addresses claims made by a website that he’s misused donation money that came his way while serving a trial after an unjust FBI raid on his property, telling the funds had been put into a trust fund for his children in case he were to serve in prison.
