Trump seals his control of the party with the election of two trusted leaders to head the Republican National Committee. Michael Whatley and Lara Trump, daughter-in-law of the former president, will lead the RNC in a political victory that will allow him control of his political machine and fundraising.
Trump's team vows not to use the committee to pay his mounting personal legal bills. But Trump and his associates will have firm control of party's political and fundraising machinery, with limited or almost no internal resistance.
