Key members of President Donald Trump’s political team are facing a backlash over their efforts to promote a new small-dollar digital fundraising website called WinRed, with critics of the site demanding to know who stands to profit from the millions of dollars in donations it gathers.
A recipient provided ABC News a copy of the email, and two other recipients confirmed that it was sent widely among party luminaries. It raises an array of concerns about the WinRed site, including the risk that those who run the site could control the flow of dollars – and use the site as a weapon against Republican detractors.
“WinRed is a revolutionary new tool that will transform the way GOP candidates and conservative causes across the country raise money. It has the full backing of President Trump and his campaign, and Republican campaigns and state parties across the country are already utilizing WinRed," Republican National Committee spokesperson Mike Reed said in a statement to ABC News.
Trump has shown political dominance over his party, placing loyalists in key positions around the country. But the dispute highlights a remaining quarter of resistance within the veteran political establishment to attempts by the president’s allies to assume power over the highly profitable industry that makes money by turning the gears of American politics.
The RNC member spoke on the condition of anonymity, because of concern that detractors could face reprisal. The anonymous letter raises the same concern, stating, “Are any RNC staffers benefitting financially from the WinRed contract?”
