Haley: RNC Will Become Trump’s “Personal Piggy Bank”

“My biggest issue is, I don’t want the RNC to become, you know, his legal defense fund. I don’t want the RNC to become his piggy bank for his personal court cases. We’ve already seen him spend $50 million worth of campaign contributions towards his personal court cases.

“Now, we see him trying to get control of the RNC so that he can continue not to have to pay his own legal fees. The problem is that doesn’t help us when any seats in the House, in the Senate or anything else if the RNC is all focused on his legal fees.

“The RNC’s practically broke now as it is. And so this is a bigger issue for the Republican Party.

“He’s made the co-chair his daughter-in-law. He’s made his campaign manager the director of operations. He’s trying to control the RNC after the fact that he tried to get me out of the race so that he could be the presumptive nominee.

“All of that is so that he has an arm to pay his legal fees. That’s the fear that every Republican should have, because we won’t win anything if he goes down that path.” – Nikki Haley, last night on CNN.
