Did Trump bribe Republican members to vote against Biden's electors?

Inquiring minds want to know. I think it is curious that so many Republican House members voted against Biden's electors.

Granted, it is probably the same thing to him. But still. Anyway, it is not as if he didn't have people ready to pony up money to support his efforts. Maybe even Ginni Thomas's group of seditionists.

They already supported him, most of them quite publicly. He wouldn't need to bribe them.
