According to Daily Beast reporter Lachlan Markay, a Pro-Trump source was behind the outing of Jacob Wohl and Jack Burkman’s attack on Democratic Presidential Candidate Pete Buttigieg.
Btw, our primary source on this story described himself as a die-hard Trump supporter
He also said that obviously what these guys are trying to do is deeply wrong, that he respects Buttigieg’s military service, and that Wohl, left unchecked, will do nothing but damage to the GOP

Here is the rest of the Twitter thread:
NEW: Jacob Wohl and Jack Burkman have been trying to recruit young men to falsely claim they were sexually assaulted by Pete Buttigieg.
One recorded their convo and gave us the audio.
Another says allegations published today in his name are bullshit https://t.co/9RDYOe5aAw

Wohl also appears to have set up a company, Potomac Intelligence, to use in the scheme, complete with fake LinkedIn pages. Minutes after I called him and Burkman, the website was taken down, the LI pages deleted, and both its phone numbers disconnected https://t.co/9RDYOe5aAw

Conservative Journalist Guy Benson confirms:
Since tweeting this, two young, gay, right-leaning men I know have contacted me to say they were also approached by Wohl to participate in this appalling attempted smear of @PeteButtigieg https://t.co/jyq9Q044iL
