Charlie Spies, a well-respected lawyer at the Republican Party, has resigned after angering Donald Trump by criticizing his false claims about the 2020 elections being rigged, The Washington Post reported.
Spies was hired in March, with the former president’s approval, after Trump orchestrated a takeover of the Republican National Committee, under which prospective hires are generally required to say that the 2020 election was stolen before being offered a job. In Spies' case, Trump approved of the initial hiring but withdrew support after learning that the lawyer had been critical of his voter-fraud conspiracy theories.
