JAKARTA - Republicans intend to keep the name of former President Donald Trump in fundraising and other materials, said a lawyer for the party on Monday, March 8.
This statement was issued, along with a letter from Donald Trump's camp asking Republicans to stop using Trump's name and attributes.
Donald Trump's lawyers on Friday sent letters of objection to the use of Trump's name and attributes to the Republican National Committee, the Republican National Congress Campaign, and the Senate National Republican Campaign.
This condition is said to increase tensions between the two camps, as Donald Trump tries to maintain his political continuity after the election.
A Trump adviser said on Saturday Trump was sensitive to the use of his name and likeness for branding purposes.
Also, Trump was upset that the three groups supported Republican lawmakers who joined the Democrats in the second impeachment hearing against him over the riots on Capitol Hill, Washington DC.
In a response letter, the Republican National Committee said Trump reiterated to RNC Chair Ronna McDaniel over the weekend that he approved the party's use of his current name, wrote Justin Riemer, RNC's top lawyer.
The party also argued that it had the right to refer to public figures because it was involved in core political speeches protected by the First Amendment.
The letter indicated Trump would participate in a party donor retreat scheduled for next month in Palm Beach, Florida, which is home to his luxurious residence, the Mar-a-Lago resort.
Trump's representatives did not immediately respond to requests for comment on the letter.
In a separate Republican effort, Trump used his Save America SuperPAC to raise partial money to help self-elected Republican candidates in the 2022 congressional elections.
Some of them are expected to challenge Republican incumbents Trump deems disloyal.
However, Trump has committed to helping Republicans try to regain control of the US House of Representatives and the Senate in the 2022 election, which will be the initial referendum on Democratic President Joe Biden's leadership.
