Donating to Trump? Campaign is spending $1 of every $10 on legal fees
Donating to Trump? Campaign is spending $1 of every $10 on legal fees
Washington (CNN)President Donald Trump's campaign donors -- big and small -- are increasingly helping to foot the legal expenses the President's campaign and his son, Donald Trump Jr., are facing related to the investigations into allegations of collusion with Russia during the 2016 campaign.
Trump's 2020 re-election campaign is driving a steadily rising share of its contributions to the lawyers representing the Trump campaign and the President's son. Legal consulting fees account for $1 of every $10 the campaign has spent this year, according to a review of campaign finance records.
And last financial quarter, 24% of the campaign's legal bills bankrolled the legal fees of Trump's eldest son, who has drawn the attention of Justice Department special counsel Robert Mueller because of his meeting last summer with a Russian attorney he believed would provide him with incriminating information from the Russian government about his father's opponent Hillary Clinton.
We live in a time in which decent and otherwise sensible people are surrendering too easily to the hectoring of morons or extremists.

A LOT of lawyers have made a lot of money over the years off of Trump , but THIS is one of the biggest feeding frenzies yet.
