'Bad news for Lara Trump': Columnist says RNC plans won't solve father-in-law's legal debt

Raw Story  

Donald Trump's daughter-in-law, Lara Trump, has said she hopes to take over the Republican National Committee and steer its funds to paying off the former president's legal bills. Trump has endorsed Eric Trump's wife, Lara, to co-run the RNC, and she has made it clear that she is 100% loyal to the ex-president and that she will "make sure that every penny is used properly." The problem with that is that the reason RNC fundraising is low in the first place is because of Trump's legal bills, according to Vanity Fair columnist Molly Jong-Fast's piece published by MSNBC. "Trump world is using the last few months of anemic fundraising for the group as an excuse for ousting McDaniel," the columnist writes.
