Deposition ties national GOP women’s group to texts about transgender youth
Infobip identified the Republican Women’s Caucus Fund and John Braun as clients behind texts that directed Texans to transgender youth resources, officials said.
- On Thursday, unsealed court records identified the Republican Women's Caucus Fund and an individual named John Braun as clients behind a text campaign impersonating the Transgender Education Network of Texas , according to a deposition from messaging company Infobip.
- Beginning in mid-October, thousands of Texans received unsolicited texts and mailers from a fake entity called the Texas Transgender Student Union, designed to stir outrage and influence midterm voter turnout before Election Day.
- Investigators traced the physical mailers to Three Z Printing in Teutopolis, Illinois, whose owners have donated more than $700,000 to Trump-aligned political groups, though the printer's specific role in the campaign remains unclear.
- Following TENT's petition, a Travis County judge ordered the Infobip deposition public; West Texas District Attorney Sarah Stogner launched a criminal forgery investigation, though the Texas Supreme Court issued a temporary stay on depositions.
- The Republican Women's Caucus Fund denied involvement on X, stating it did not authorize or coordinate the campaign; meanwhile, TENT reports severe threats against staff following the impersonation, forcing the organization to suspend normal operations.
