In response to a question about why a supposed billionaire needing over $1.6 million in GOP donor cash to pay legal bills for cases that have nothing to do with Trump’s presidency or campaigns, RNC Emma Vaughn spokeswoman told ABC News the party’s executive committee approved “certain legal expenses that related to politically motivated legal proceedings waged against President Trump,” because “as a leader of our party, defending President Trump and his record of achievement is critical to the GOP. It is entirely appropriate for the RNC to continue assisting in fighting back against the Democrats’ never ending witch hunt and attacks on him.”
