The Trump campaign and its affiliated PACs apparently made an unreported $8 million payment for legal fees to a single vendor, funneling the expenditure through a common accounting company, the Daily Beast reports. The amount would also be more fees than paid to Trump lawyers like Alina Habba and John Lauro over that time.
For more than a year, the Trump campaign and its linked groups have sent more than $8 million to Red Curve Solutions, a firm that does the political accounting for the organizations. The payments were categorized as “reimbursements” for legal expenses but Red Curve Solutions had never provided legal advice to the groups before. It could indicate that Red Curve Solutions is pre-paying legal fees for its clients and getting repaid, but that may be a violation of campaign finance laws.
While Republicans continue to resurrect the Steele dossier being paid by Hillary Clinton’s law firm, it appears their own Party leader and his cabal are hiding an exceptional amount of legal fees that may or may not be associated with one of the various legal tribulations currently besetting their leader .
