"I believe in due process," said RNC chair Ronna McDaniel.

During a CNN interview on Monday, Republican National Committee chair Ronna McDaniel confirmed that Michael Cohen is still an RNC deputy director, and defended him.

“Michael Cohen has not been charged with anything, he’s under investigation,” McDaniel said of Cohen, Trump’s longtime personal attorney who was the target of an FBI raid last week and is currently under federal investigation. “I believe in due process, I’m sure you do too, so we’ll see what happens.”

McDaniel also dismissed concerns about three top RNC officials being simultaneously embroiled in scandal as a “distraction.” In addition to Cohen’s problems, last Friday the Wall Street Journal broke the news that RNC deputy finance chair Elliott Broidy paid $1.6 million to a Playboy Playmate in exchange for her silence about an affair — an agreement negotiated by Cohen. Reporting about the Broidy payment came less than three months after the Wall Street Journal broke news that the then-finance chair of the RNC, Steve Wynn, had engaged in serial sexual harassment and assault.
