“Charlie consulted with RNC Chief of Staff Chris Lacivita about the potential conflict with his time commitments, and while we value Charlie’s expertise and professionalism, we are confident that he will continue to work in this role on a full-time basis.” “We have agreed to maintain our obligations to the law firm, which has been years in the making,” RNC spokesperson Daniel Alvarez said in a statement to The Hill. .
The respected conservative lawyer was hired by the RNC in March as the organization prepared for a leadership change. Mr. Trump handpicked the committee’s new chairman and vice chairman and promised a sweeping overhaul of the Republican Party’s main political group.
Speaker Michael Whatley said at the time that Spieth and fellow attorney Christina Bobb would focus on efforts to ensure election security.
“The RNC’s new stance related to this litigation will be a proactive and proactive effort to make voting easier and fraud difficult,” the letter to members, obtained by The Hill, reads. In it, he said:
The spy has publicly denied Trump’s election fraud claims, which became a point of friction between him and Trump. The Washington Post reported.
The staffing review comes as attention is focused on the group’s fundraising. Before the Trump campaign took over in March, the RNC fell far behind Democratic groups and President Biden’s re-election campaign in terms of funding.
