Lara Trump said Republican voters want the RNC to pay Donald Trump's mounting legal bills from his various criminal and civil cases. She acknowledged the RNC rules may not allow this but said voters see the cases as political persecution against Trump and the country. Lara Trump spoke at Trump campaign HQ in South Carolina ahead of the state's GOP primary on Saturday. She also called for the RNC to raise half a billion dollars before November to help Trump's campaign and other GOP races. Lara Trump assured her loyalty to her father-in-law and pledged to oversee the proper use of funds for causes important to their agenda.
