Trump Campaign Stops Paying Donald Jr.’s Legal Bills

The Trump campaign has stopped paying legal bills for Donald Trump Jr. and is setting up a legal defense fund to cover the costs for him and other campaign staffers related to investigations into Russian election meddling, said a person familiar with the matter.

A fund for campaign staffers should be running in a few weeks, the person said, adding that the exact structure, how it would be administered and who would be eligible are still being finalized. It also hasn’t been determined yet whether President Donald Trump or the Trump Organization could contribute to the fund.

The Trump campaign’s legal bills have already topped more than $2 million this year, including payments related to the Russia investigations, as well as $287,924 for Trump Jr. Separately, in September, the Republican National Committee paid $166,527 to Alan Futerfas, who represents Trump Jr., according to the party’s latest filing with the Federal Election Commission.

With the investigation likely to go well into 2018, those bills could continue to mount. The Trump campaign is limited in how much it can raise per person between now and 2020, while a legal defense fund would have no cap.

White House lawyer Ty Cobb said last week that the president would also assume responsibility for his own legal bills, which could exceed $1 million. Trump’s legal costs had previously been covered by the RNC, which paid $131,250 to Trump’s attorney Jay Sekulow and $100,000 to attorney John Dowd.

After all Trump was chosen by God. Everything is about God with him.

If I were Pat and God chose someone, I would give every last dollar of my billion to help. Jim Bakker should use his tubs of food rapture profits for God chosen Trump legal fund.
