1. RNC appoints pro-Trump attorney Christina Bobb as senior counsel for election integrity.
2. Bobb has spread false claims about the validity of Joe Biden’s 2020 election victory.
3. Bobb’s appointment is part of a significant restructuring of the Republican National Committee towards closer alignment with Trump.
The Republican National Committee has hired pro-Trump attorney Christina Bobb as senior counsel for election integrity, despite her history of spreading false claims about the validity of Joe Biden’s 2020 election victory. Bobb’s appointment is part of a broader restructuring of the RNC that aligns the committee more closely with former President Trump, including the appointment of Lara Trump as co-chair. Bobb has a history of pushing the false narrative that the 2020 election was stolen and has been involved in efforts to question the legitimacy of Biden’s victory.
Bobb’s new role at the RNC includes being a part of the newly formed Election Integrity Division, which aims to ensure voters feel like their votes count and prevent any doubts about the election process. Despite her role in spreading false claims about the 2020 election, Bobb has not been accused of any crimes. In addition to her work with Trump and OAN, Bobb was involved in defending Trump following a 2022 raid of his Mar-a-Lago property, during which she falsely claimed that all materials had been returned to the US government.
Bobb’s appointment at the RNC has raised concerns about the committee’s commitment to election integrity and the potential impact of her false claims on public trust in the election process. The restructuring of the RNC to align more closely with Trump and promote his election integrity narrative has been met with criticism, particularly given the lack of evidence to support claims of widespread voter fraud in the 2020 election.
