Chief Counsel at RNC Pushed Out After Two Months

“Charlie Spies, the Republican National Committee’s chief counsel, was pushed out of his new role just two months after taking the job, amid a storm of controversy over conflicts involving other clients at the firm where he still works,“ the New York Times reports.

“Mr. Spies, a veteran election-law lawyer whom the R.N.C. hired in March primarily because of his knowledge of how best to use existing regulations to a campaign’s or a candidate’s advantage, has been under attack since soon after he arrived at the committee.”
