Stop using his name, Trump tells GOP

Former President Donald Trump has sent a cease-and-desist letter to at least three Republican organizations demanding that they stop using his name and likeness to fundraise, two Trump advisers confirmed Saturday.

The letter, which was first reported by Politico, was sent to the Republican National Committee, the National Republican Congressional Committee and the National Republican Senatorial Committee. Representatives for the three groups did not immediately respond to requests for comment or for copies of the letter Saturday.

It is unclear what Trump’s team would consider off-limits, though Politico noted that the RNC on Friday sent two fundraising emails that asked those who considered themselves “President Trump’s most loyal SUPPORTERS” to virtually sign “the Official Trump ‘Thank You’ Card.”

The outlet also reported that Trump has been angry that those groups could use his name to support Republicans who voted to impeach him a second time. Ten Republican members of Congress voted to impeach Trump in the House, and seven Republican senators voted with Democrats to find the former president guilty of inciting the mob that overran the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6.

Trump continues to assert himself as the leader of the GOP. At his appearance at the Conservative Political Action Conference last month, Trump vowed that his “America First” movement was just getting started, and speaker after speaker affirmed him as the future of the party.
