As the Russia probes intensified over the summer, the Trump campaign spent more than $1 million on legal fees between the beginning of July and the end of September, according to a campaign finance report made public Sunday.

The campaign paid more than $800,000 to the Jones Day law firm, which represents the campaign. The Trump campaign paid more than 200,000 to lawyers representing President Donald Trump’s eldest son, Donald Trump Jr.

The Republican National Committee has also helped pay for legal fees incurred by the President and Trump Jr.

The filings made public Sunday show that the Trump campaign spent significantly more on legal fees in the third quarter than it did for the first half of the year.

  1. Big fucking deal…it’s not his money anyway. It’s his campaign’s money which was donated to him. So even that doesn’t come out of his own fucking pocket like it should.

    Here’s hoping tRump legal fees bankrupt the RNC. That would be poetic justice.

  3. Good. Hope they run up $10M more before Christmas. Money from all his small donors and big campaign contributors hopefully just down the drain.

  4. Gee Donnie
    I thought that “Russher Thing” was all fake news
    That’s what you told Lester Holt
    Pretty extreme reaction for someone with nothing to hide.
    Amiright?

  5. Sure hope all those who donated to his campaign are seeing a return on their investment. I don’t think he’s done paying for his lawyers.
