That would be state senator Megan Hunt (D-Legislative District 8)

LINCOLN — A state senator is seeking answers about what role Nebraska’s attorney general might have played in robocalls issued by a national group urging protesters to descend on the U.S. Capitol last week.

A day before the Capitol was stormed and ransacked, the fundraising arm of the Republican Attorneys General Association — of which Nebraska Attorney General Doug Peterson is a member — issued robocalls urging supporters of President Donald Trump to march to the Capitol and “stop the steal,” NBC News reported over the weekend.

The story prompted State Sen. Megan Hunt of Omaha to file a public records request with Peterson’s office on Sunday, asking whether public funds were used to pay for his membership in the group or were used to help pay for the robocalls. Hunt also asked for any correspondence Peterson had with the group or its fundraising affiliate, the Rule of Law Defense Fund.

State senator seeks answers on whether Nebraska AG had role in urging Capitol protest (Omaha World-Herald)

Just a few hours after I filed my request today, Sunday, the AG’s spokesperson said they had no records to report.

The idea that they reviewed the scope of my request within that time period is not realistic. What can I conclude other than that statement was a lie? https://t.co/lUV9ZePYu6
