RNC to stop paying Donald Trump’s legal bills if he runs in 2024

Republican National Committee Chair Ronna McDaniel told CNN’s Dana Bash on Sunday’s edition of State of the Union that if Donald Trump decides to seek the presidency again in 2024, the RNC will no longer be able to assist with his legal expenses.

“The RNC has paid more than $2.3 million to law firms representing him in his legal battles. If and when he does announce, will you stop paying his legal bills?” Bash asked McDaniel.

“We cannot pay legal bills for any candidate that’s announced. So these are bills that came from the Letitia James lawsuit that started while he was president,” McDaniel said of the Democratic New York State attorney general’s $250 million civil fraud lawsuit against the Trump Organization. “It was voted on by our executive committee for our former president, that this was a politically motivated investigation and that’s what it’s been. But we cannot do in-kind contributions to any candidate. Right now he’s the former president being attacked from every which way with lawsuits, and he’s certainly raised more under the RNC than we’ve spent on these bills.”
