A search for Erin Lichy on the Federal Election Commission (FEC) website, which reports data on election donations, confirms four separate donations of $100 each on November 5, 6, 7, and 9 to WinRed, a Republican donor platform. The second two donations were specifically earmarked to go to the Trump Make America Great Again Committee.

For her part, Lichy from "Real Housewives of New York" has responded to people finding out about her $400 donation to the Donald Trump presidential campaign after the 2020 election, and she clapped back at the speculation that she was aiding and supporting the overturning of the 2020 election with her donations. "Regarding the hateful and misinformed social commentary going on about me," Lichy said in a statement, "I'd like to dispel these false narratives before they continue any further. I do not deny the election and have never supported stop the steal. I unequivocally believe that the 2020 Presidential election was fair and the President was rightfully elected," per Variety.
