The Wall Street Journal reports that the $3 million paid by Donald Trump’s Super PAC to his new lawyer, Chris Kise, was because the former president “was known not to pay some bills.”
“Mr. Kise avoided at least the issue of nonpayments by securing $3 million in advance and, if the case drags, the leeway to bill for more.”
Another reason to pay his lawyer in advance is that he won’t be able to control expenditures from the PAC if he announces a presidential bid.
