Lawyers for former President Donald Trump have demanded the Republican National Committee and other GOP entities stop using his name and likeness on fund-raising emails and merchandise without his permission, said a person familiar with the move.
The cease-and-desist letters, first reported by Politico, were sent Friday to the RNC, the National Republican Congressional Committee, and the National Republican Senatorial Committee that have been using Trump in solicitations.
