Republican National Committee spokeswoman Kayleigh McEnany said Friday morning that Michael Cohen remains a deputy finance chair at the RNC despite the fact that he’s under criminal investigation.
“It is still the case,” McEnay told livestreaming news network Cheddar when asked if Cohen remained as an RNC official. “You know, there’s ongoing litigation, and we’ll take it step by step.”
She would not say whether Cohen would be removed in the future if he faces charges.
Cheddar’s J.D. Durkin asked McEnay if the RNC had concerns that Cohen is under investigation for possible campaign finance violations given his role in the Republican Party. In response, McEnay echoed President Trump’s claim that federal investigators violated attorney-client privilege when they raided Cohen’s office, home and hotel room.
“I have concerns about the violation of attorney-client privilege, and when the Southern District of New York invaded his office, swept up material, violating the President’s privacy, his clients’ privacy, Michael Cohen’s privacy. So that’s where my concerns lie,” she said.

Well, of course he is! He’s probably also still soliciting bribes to set up meetings with Trump.
If anything, he may be over-qualified.
What the eff does he have on them? They ditched everyone else at the first whiff of scandal.
Of course, if he’s been helping to keep the books.
We would expect no less!
The GOP is a criminal enterprise. Their main lobbying firm, the NRA is a criminal enterprise. Their political leader Donald Trump is a criminal enterprise. None of this should be surprising, they’re all complicit and guilty in criminal activity of and related to how we govern.
If they weren’t, they would have long distanced themselves from Trump, the NRA, Russian intervention in our elections and would actively be working to clean up their party and the country. They’re complicit.
