Datwyler, who now lives in Hudson Wisconsin, said in a phone interview with the Arizona Republic that he was “just the accountant” and was a contractor for the American Voting Rights Foundation. He said he could not speak about the work or goals of the foundation, which he said was created in June 2021. Jordan Libowitz, communications director for CREW, said Olson’s role does not seem to have been real. “Andrew Olson is a real person, but ‘Santos Treasurer Andrew Olson’ does not appear to be,” Libowitz told The Daily Beast, wondering whether Olson knew at the time that Datwyler had used his name, or if he had permission.

Datwyler has been in the business of politics for the past decade and a half, first interning for the Republican National Convention in 2008 and subsequently cutting his teeth as an operative for controversial ex-Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann. After the 2018 midterms, he began showing up in FEC filings as the money-manager for such GOP powerhouses as Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) and Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH).
