The party chairwoman choked up addressing ongoing rumors that she and other RNC officials are poised to personally benefit from a new Trump-endorsed small-donor platform
Republican National Committee Chairwoman Ronna Romney McDaniel grew visibly emotional during a meeting with senior GOP officials on Wednesday, as she insisted that she isn’t personally profiting off a new, President Donald Trump-endorsed small-donor platform.
Those close to McDaniel say she hadn’t initially planned on defending herself during the meeting, which was called to answer questions RNC members had about WinRed. But she and top aides to the president have grown aggrieved in recent days amid questions over who will profit from the new donor platform.
Those present said the meeting largely revolved around technical matters after the early excitement. Among those joining the presentation were WinRed president Gerrit Lansing, Trump campaign digital director Gary Coby and Henry Barbour, board chairman of the GOP data firm Data Trust. That posture has inflamed tensions with Paul Dietzel, a Republican digital strategist who oversees a rival payment processor called Anedot, which has been widely used by Republican campaigns and committees in recent years. The RNC sent Dietzel a cease-and-desist letter about a new donation website he created earlier this month, and the committee has said it will withdraw funding for any campaign or organization that uses a non-WinRed platform — including Dietzel’s.
