Republican National Chairman
Reince Priebus is coming under fire from some of his top officials, all of whom have been considered loyalists throughout his six years in office.
They are accusing
Mr. Priebus of concealing from members proposed changes to the rules that will govern the party’s July presidential nominating convention in Cleveland.
“I consider this to be a major breach of trust,” said RNC Rules Committee Chairman
Bruce Ash of Arizona.
A copy of
Mr. Ash’s email to the Rules Committee was shared with the Washington Times by a Trump supporter on the Rules Committee who asked not to be named in the story.
The “breach of trust,” according to the Ash email, was the failure by
Mr. Priebus‘ Legal Counsel’s office to notify Rules Committee members that Oregon RNC member
Solomon Yue had submitted a rules change, to be considered at Thursday’s Rules Committee meeting.
Mr. Yue’s proposal would change the parliamentary rules for the national convention from the arcane Rules of the US House of Representatives to the widely used Robert’s Rules of Order.
