Trump campaign downsizing, letting most staffers go — except those helping legal battle

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump's campaign is downsizing and letting most of its staffers go this weekend, with the exception of aides who are helping with election-related litigation efforts.

Some aides who work at the campaign's headquarters in Arlington, Virginia, were informed this week that Sunday would be their last day. Others were asked to remain until Nov. 30. Some who are viewed as crucial to supporting the campaign's legal operations have not been given any end date.

The Republican National Committee is also reducing staff at its headquarters and in field operations. Employees who have been let go are being paid through the end of the month.
