Trump's campaign demands that GOP Rep. Bob Good stop using his name and image in re-election bid
Trump's campaign on Friday sent a cease and desist letter to Virginia GOP Rep. Bob Good demanding that his campaign stop using Trump's image and name.
Former President Donald Trump's campaign on Friday sent a cease-and-desist letter to Rep. Bob Good's re-election campaign, a senior Trump campaign official confirmed to NBC News.
The letter came after the Virginia Republican used Trump's name and image to promote his campaign, even though Trump endorsed his opponent, state Sen. John McGuire, in a post on Truth Social last Tuesday.
"Neither you nor your campaign are authorized to use President Trump’s name or the Campaign’s to falsely imply their support of your candidacy. Nor are you or your campaign authorized to claim that you represent or are otherwise associated with President Trump," read the letter from attorney David Warrington.
"Producing and displaying materials that give the false impression that President Trump is supportive of your candidacy is a fraud on the voters of Virginia’s 5th Congressional District. It is an abuse of the voters’ trust to make such false statements," Warrington added in the letter.
The letter also featured an image of campaign signs in Virginia with Trump's name above Good's.
