The Democratic National Committee has made payments to law firms that represented President Joe Biden in the special counsel probe into his handling of classified documents, according to federal records. Since July, the DNC has paid $1.05 million to the professional limited liability company of Biden's personal attorney, Bob Bauer, who represented Biden in the probe led by Special Counsel Robert Hur.
In addition to Bauer's firm, the DNC has also paid nearly $905,000 to Hemenway & Barnes since the beginning of 2023. Jennifer Miller, an attorney from Hemenway & Barnes, was identified in Hur's final report as a 'personal counsel' for the president. While the DNC has been paying the firm for legal services since 2020, the payments increased significantly last year.
