Donald Trump is taking steps to try to shape the Republican National Committee’s fundraising operation if he secures the GOP presidential nomination, holding initial talks with longtime party fundraiser Ray Washburne about leading the effort.

Washburne, a former finance chairman of the RNC, most recently headed fundraising for New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie’s presidential bid. After Christie dropped out of the race, Washburne had conversations with the Trump campaign about helping raise money for him for the general election, according to people familiar with the discussions. Bloomberg Politics firstreported the talks.
