A newly formed joint fundraising committee is asking for a share of funds raised using the name, image, or likeness of former President Donald Trump.

In a letter dated April 15 and signed by Susie Wiles and Chris LaCivita, co-campaign managers of Donald J. Trump For President, and addressed to “top Republican digital vendors,” a new committee called Trump National Committee JFC Inc. asks Republicans to “split a minimum of 5 percent” of all fundraising with Trump National Committee beginning on April 16.
