VP Mike Pence discloses donors who helped pay nearly $500K in legal bills from Mueller investigation
WASHINGTON Vice President Mike Pence received nearly $500,000 from a dozen contributors to pay his legal bills from special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation, according to his annual financial disclosure report that was released Tuesday.
The biggest backers were Indiana Pacers owner Herb Simon and the California couple Michael Hayde and Laura Khouri who develop and manage apartment complexes. They each gave $100,000.
Other contributors include Pence's political adviser Marty Obst; national GOP fundraiser Ronald Weiser of Michigan; Florida real estate investor Leo Wells; Indiana businessmen Lawrence Sonny Beck, Paul Thrift and Tony Moravec; and Georgia businessman Brian McPheely, head of the countrys fifth largest corrugated packaging company.
The legal defense fund was created in December 2018 by Jim Atterholt, who served as Pence's chief of staff when he was Indiana's governor.
