Dick Cheney to attend fundraiser supporting Trump reelection: report

Former Vice President Dick Cheney (R) is reportedly planning to attend a fundraiser for President TrumpDonald TrumpSt. Louis lawyer who pointed gun at Black Lives Matter protesters considering Senate run Chauvin found guilty as nation exhales US says Iran negotiations are 'positive' MORE's reelection and the Republican National Committee (RNC). 

The Washington Post, citing an invitation it obtained, reported on Saturday that Cheney was expected to attend a luncheon fundraiser on Monday in Jackson, Wyo., with his daughter, Rep. Liz CheneyElizabeth (Liz) Lynn CheneyCheney on Trump going to GOP retreat in Florida: 'I haven't invited him' RNC raises nearly M in record off-year March donations Republicans race for distance from 'America First Caucus' MORE (R-Wyo.).

Administration officials are barred from campaigning in their official capacities, according to federal law. 

The Trump campaign confirmed the event to the Post. The campaign did not immediately respond to a request for further comment from The Hill. 

The Post noted that Trump Victory, a joint committee that raises money for Trump's 2020 campaign and the RNC, frequently charges five- and six-figure amounts to attend its events. The invite does not indicate the cost of tickets for the Jackson event. 

Dick Cheney has reportedly expressed qualms with the Trump administration's foreign policy initiatives. Among other things, the former vice president told Vice President Pence in March that he had issues with Trump's views toward traditional allies such as NATO, the Post reported. 

“I worry that the bottom line of that kind of an approach is we have an administration that looks a lot more like Barack Obama than Ronald Reagan,” Cheney said, according to the newspaper.

“Rep. Cheney is honored to be co-hosting this event and working hard to support President Trump’s re-election,” a spokeswoman for Liz Cheney, the chair of the House Republican Conference, said in a statement to the Post. “The President’s policies are benefiting Wyoming and the nation.”
