RNC's top lawyer resigns after less than 2 months
Republican National Committee chief counsel Charles Spies has resigned from his position even though he was hired less than two months ago.
Spies has tons of experience as an election attorney for Republicans, but former President Donald Trump complained that he had been allied with previous primary opponents Jeb Bush and Ron DeSantis.
He cited time commitments when resigning.
“Charlie approached RNC chief of staff Chris LaCivita about potential time commitment conflicts and it was agreed that while we appreciate and value Charlie’s expertise and professionalism he could not do this role full time and still maintain the obligations to his law firm practice that he has spent years successfully building,” RNC spokesperson Danielle Alvarez said in a statement.
