RNC told Trump’s lawyers that the organization “has every right to refer to public figures in key political speeches protected by the First Amendment to the Constitution”.
RNC lawyer Lehmer insisted that the Republican Party will continue to use the names of public figures.
He also stated that Trump actually "reiterated" to RNC Chairman McDaniel last weekend that he was in favor of RNC using his name to raise funds.
After receiving the prohibition letter, RNC continued to use Trump's name in communications, including in an email on the 7th, in which they urged supporters to "defend former President Trump's American priority policy."
US media reported last week that Trump’s lawyers issued a prohibition letter to the RNC, the Republican National Congressional Committee, and the Republican National Senate Committee on the grounds that they used Trump’s name in emails for fundraising or selling goods.
Other organizations that also used Trump's name to raise funds have also received similar letters.
The Trump campaign and RNC fundraising committee "Trump Victory" raised a total of 366 million US dollars in 2019 and 2020.
But in a speech at the Conservative Political Action Conference at the end of February 2021, Trump encouraged donors to contribute to his new Political Action Committee "Save America", which means that the committee will compete with other Republican groups for funding.
This move will trigger competition within the Republican Party for donations.
In addition, Trump has stated that he will seek to “retaliate” against Republican congressmen who voted to impeach him during the 2022 midterm elections.
