Donald Trump Jr. headlining fundraiser in Kansas for a leader of his fathers voter fraud commission

President Trumps eldest son is headlining a fundraiser in Kansas next week for Republican gubernatorial hopeful Kris Kobach, marking the Trump familys entrance into a crowded race on behalf of a high-profile leader of the presidents controversial voter fraud commission.
Donald Trump Jr. is scheduled to appear in Overland Park, Kan., on Tuesday at a dinner and reception benefiting Kobach, currently Kansas's secretary of state. ... Kobach serves as vice chairman of the Presidential Advisory Commission on Election Integrity, which Trump launched in the wake of his baseless claim that illegally cast ballots cost him the popular vote in his election last year against Democrat Hillary Clinton.
Vice President Pence chairs the commission, but Kobach who has aggressively pursued voter fraud cases in his state is the driving force behind the 11-member panel and has presided over the substantive discussions at its meetings.
....
The commissions work was also hindered by the arrest of a staff member last month on charges of possession of child pornography.John Wagner is a national political reporter covering the White House.
