The new leadership team at the Republican National Committee — handpicked by former president Donald Trump — started firing dozens of employees days after taking over, according to three people familiar with the firings who were not authorized to speak publicly.

About 60 people were told they were no longer employed, according to a person with direct knowledge of the changes.

One of the people familiar with the firings said data, political and communications staffers were affected, and notifications were made on Monday by Chris LaCivita, a senior Trump adviser. LaCivita had complained about the staff of the RNC for several months, people who spoke to him said, and long planned to make changes. The Trump adviser had studied the organization’s payroll and employees for several weeks, the person said.

The news was first reported by Politico.

Spend every penny on tsf and his legal bills. Don't give the candidates a single penny. Bleed them dry.

And fire everyone else.

You don’t need a lot of staff when you are stealing all the money from an organization. And there is nothing to do but follow orders from the mob boss.
