Doing business with Donald Trump is a good way to get stuck with the bill. The Republican National Committee is learning that lesson. After throwing its weight behind Trump over the course of the last four years, the political organization admitted that it is paying for Trump’s personal legal fees related to ongoing criminal investigations into his companies.
According to The Washington Post, the RNC has already shelled out multiple payments totaling $121,670. Both of the payments were directed to the law firm of Ronald Fischetti, which has been given the unenviable task of defending Trump. It seems like the RNC is all too happy to keep cutting checks, too. “As a leader of our party, defending President Trump and his record of achievement is critical to the GOP,” the party said in a statement to the Post. “It is entirely appropriate for the RNC to continue assisting in fighting back against the Democrats’ never-ending witch hunt and attacks on him.”
