The parties Presidential nominee controls the party in American Political politics….
Trump HAS spent million on his legal cases civil and criminal and he’s up for tens of millions MORE….
Yup?
You should NOT be surprised if the guy looks to drain ‘HIS’ party’s pocket books on legal cases, NOT political moves that help him and OTHER Republicans….
Several senior Republican officials are concerned that Donald Trump’s expected takeover of the RNC will ultimately pave the way for the committee to once again cover his legal bills.
Those fears come in the aftermath of Trump endorsing a trio of officials, including his daughter-in-law, to take on top roles at the RNC. While those endorsements have been well-received by many committee members — who note that it is customary for a presidential candidate to put his imprint on the party’s main campaign apparatus — others fear a potential misallocation of party resources….

“I don’t think it’s appropriate for the committee to pay the legal bills for things done outside the work of the committee,” Brock said.
Chris LaCivita, a senior adviser to Trump’s campaign, called fears about the RNC paying Trump’s legal bills “manufactured.” Rather than the committee covering the cost of Trump’s attorney fees, the money would be drawn from other sources, including Trump’s leadership PAC Save America and the former president himself, who has been paying some legal bills out of pocket, according to senior advisers to the campaign.
The RNC spent nearly $2 million on two legal firms working on Trump cases in 2021 and 2022 before stopping once Trump jumped into the presidential campaign. The committee will continue to have a legal fund to pay for recount efforts, lawsuits and typical party legal business.
Trump has large visions for reshaping the RNC….
Yep. And Republicans ate dumb enough to pay em with a smile.
