"RNC Draft Resolution Aims to Halt Payment of Trump's Legal Bills"

Two draft resolutions circulated within the Republican National Committee propose to prevent the party from paying for any presidential candidate's legal fees and to maintain neutrality in the Republican presidential primaries until a candidate secures enough delegates to become the nominee. The resolutions come amid former President Donald Trump's victories in early voting contests and his campaign's aim to reach the delegate threshold. Additionally, the proposals seek to block the RNC from covering legal expenses unrelated to the 2024 election for Trump and former Ambassador Nikki Haley, as Trump's legal fees continue to accumulate. The Trump campaign criticized the resolutions, emphasizing the RNC's responsibility to defeat Joe Biden and regain the White House.
