If Republican donors are bothered by the stack of scandals lining up for the head of their party, they’re likely even less happy about the fact that their large donations are going straight out the door to lawyers for Trump’s staff, the Washington Post reported Sunday.

“The RNC’s $451,780 payment to Trout Cacheris & Janis adds to the mounting legal fees associated with the investigations by special counsel Robert S. Mueller III and several congressional committees of Russian interference in the 2016 presidential campaign,” The Post wrote.

Hicks hired Robert Trout in September 2017, and according to Federal Election Commission report filed Sunday, he has continued to be paid for over six months. There are three lawyers in the firm that currently represent people being investigated by special counsel Robert Mueller, the firm’s site said.

The RNC has bragged about out-raising the DNC for several financial quarters, but their democratic counterpart isn’t seeing their donations go out the door right away to pay for mounting legal fees.
