ByAt the center of the fight for who will control the Republican National Committee through the 2024 election is a dispute over who’s drawing money from the party and whether the expenses are appropriate in a party committee that one veteran Republican consultant coyly called a “slush fund.”
“It is 100% normal and routine for the committee to pay for the reasonable monthly rent for the chairman of the RNC,” former RNC Chairman Reince Priebus said in response to questions from Yahoo News sent to McDaniel’s team. “This is a topic that is not even debated on the budget committee.” “I have been disappointed to hear that my firm’s legal work on behalf of the RNC is being used by those opposing my candidacy as a way to disparage or discredit me,” Dhillon wrote in the email obtained by Yahoo News. Dhillon argued that her firm’s fees accounted for only less than 3% of the party’s $50 million in fees paid to outside counsel.
The party chair has immense power in determining who is able to make the primary debate stage — something which proved immensely helpful to Trump in 2016 as he used primary debates to tear his opponents to shreds — and ultimately sets the rules that decide how the Republican Party picks its nominee for president.
But the irony of the heated public debate is that McDaniel and Dhillon both approved each other’s expenses as members of the committee and never tried to block the spending before. McDaniel, as party chair, approved hiring Dhillon’s law firm and disbursing $1.3 million to the firm. And Dhillon, as a member of the party’s executive committee, reviewed the party budget — including spending on McDaniels’s posh D.C.
