RNC chairwoman expresses regret over Giuliani news conference [View all]

The chair of the Republican National Committee (RNC), Ronna Romney McDaniel, says in a new interview that she regrets letting former President Trump's lawyers, namely Rudy Giuliani and Sidney Powell, spread unproven claims about the 2020 election from the organization's headquarters.

Speaking with The New York Times, McDaniel indicated that she thought it had been a mistake to allow Giuliani and Powell to make the claims about election rigging days after the vote at the RNC's headquarters in Washington, D.C.

"When I saw some of the things Sidney was saying, without proof, I certainly was concerned it was happening in my building," McDaniel told the newspaper. "There are a whole host of issues we had to deal with - what is the liability of the RNC, if these allegations are made and unfounded?"

During the Nov. 19 press conference at the RNC headquarters, lawyers for the former president including Powell and Giuliani claimed that Democrats had organized around the country to steal hundreds of thousands of votes in key battleground states including Michigan, Pennsylvania and Georgia.
