Former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) took a swipe at former President Trump’s overhaul of the Republican National Committee (RNC), warning donors should “beware” after the former president’s legal team said it was “impossible” to secure a bond for the damages owed in his New York civil fraud case.
“It is just a coincidence that Donald Trump took over the RNC, fired most of its Republican staff, and installed his daughter-law as co-chair at the same time he’s become desperate for money and can’t post bond?” Cheney wrote Monday on X, formerly Twitter. “Donors better beware.”
Trump’s circle of allies began a massive overhaul of the RNC last week, starting with the election of Chair Michael Whatley and co-Chair Lara Trump, both of whom were endorsed by the former president. Trump is Lara’s father-in-law.
A series of senior staffing changes involving former Trump’s allies followed, with a letter to RNC members calling the freshly merged Trump campaign and party a “united operation.”
Days later, Trump’s legal team indicated in court filings it will be impossible to secure the $454 million bond due in his New York fraud case. Trump’s attorneys said they spent “countless hours” negotiating with “one of the largest insurance companies in the world” and approached 30 companies to back the bond.
