A Texas Democrat group is caught allegedly admitting to a pay-for-voters scheme. Trump lands a rare victory with Democrat help on his fraud program. And the Lindsey Clancy holdout juror breaks his silence. I'm Daily Wire Executive Editor John Bickley with Georgia Howe. It's Thursday, September 17th. This is Evening Wire.
The lone holdout juror in the trial of Lindsey Clancy has spoken out publicly for the first time. That's so criminal host Lyndon Blake has more.
48-year-old Michael P. Desertville polarized the nation when he stood alone against 11 other jurors, maintaining until the end. that Lindsey Clancy was guilty. Deseronville's identity remained unknown to the public for days after the trial, until a fellow juror tipped the hand by identifying him as the lone black member of the jury.

Vice President J.D. Vance delivers a warning to Americans over the Iran war. Foreign Affairs reporter Cassie Akiva has the latest.
Iranian forces have shot down at least two U.S. drones in recent days, CBS News reports, citing American officials. The locations and specific drone models remain unclear. Also, Vice President J.D.

We are paying people $25 to attend a one-hour Zoom class to learn why voting is important and why the Republicans are causing all these bad things. So it's like a roundabout way of paying people for their votes, essentially.
According to the video, the admission was made by an organizer of the Texas Majority PAC, a group founded by former staffers for Beto O'Rourke. The political consulting firm behind the paid Zoom sessions, Relentless, put out a statement distancing itself from the description given in the video. The firm said that it, quote, does not support the description or characterization in the video of the program we are running for our client in Texas.
A major part of President Trump's push against waste, fraud, and abuse in the federal government has received unexpected support from dozens of Democrats. Reporter Zach Jewell has the
story. More than 140 House Democrats voted with Republicans yesterday to make the National Fraud Enforcement Division a permanent part of the Justice Department. The legislation passed with 352 votes in favor and 72 against. The fraud division was created in January, and Democrats in Minnesota were some of its first targets.
