20% of Trump Campaign Money Goes to Legal Fees

“President Trump’s reelection campaign spent more than $1 out of every $5 on attorney fees this year as the president contended with the ongoing special counsel investigation and a new legal challenge from an adult-film star,” the Washington Post reports.

“Of the $3.9 million that Trump’s committee spent in the first quarter of 2018, more than $834,000 went to eight law firms and the Trump Corp. for legal fees.”

“The latest figures bring the Trump campaign’s total spending on legal fees to nearly $4 million since the president took office, records show.”
