Trump pledges to personally pay some legal bills of WH staff and associates

[RandySF]

President Trump has promised to spend at least $430,000 of his own money to defray legal costs incurred by campaign associates and White House staff due to the Russia investigations, a White House official tells Axios.

What we know: The Republican National Committee has paid roughly $430,000 to lawyers representing the president and his eldest son, Don Jr. A White House official told me Trump will not be reimbursing the RNC for these costs. However, the White House official says he has pledged to spend the same amount, from his personal finances, "to defray the costs of legal fees for his associates, including former and current White House aides."

To understand the details of the RNC's payments for Trump and his son's lawyers, read this WashPost report — the substance of which the RNC confirmed to Axios.

2. Just play ball and you can invoice Trump when it's all over.

I can't imagine anyone who knows Trump would buy this.

5. Sure looks like his Game Plan.

He has been known to Bribe or fix things in his past.

3. Will not come from his own pocket, but a donor slush fund.

His crazy tweets keep the money flowing in to him.
