“With the help of Donald Trump, the New Jersey Republican State Committee has paid its legal fees connected to the George Washington Bridge lane-closing scandal,” the Newark Star Ledger reports.
“Campaign finance reports released Tuesday show the Republican State Committee not only paid its Bridgegate-related bills, but has enough money in the bank to cover its remaining debts. Trump, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, had a lot to do with that, hosting a $25,000-a-ticket event in May to raise money for the state GOP.”
“Trump held a separate fundraiser for Gov. Chris Christie’s presidential campaign that same day, bringing in $142,000. That was enough to whittle down Christie’s campaign debt but did not pay it off.”
