President Donald Trump is spending cash donated to his reelection campaign and the Republican National Committee to pay for his lawyers in the criminal probe of Russian interference in the election, a new report said Tuesday.
But while previous presidential campaigns have used these funds to pay for routine legal matters such as ballot access disputes and compliance requirements, Trump would be the first president in the modern campaign finance era to use such funds to cover the costs of defending himself in a criminal probe, said election law experts.
Special counsel Robert Mueller is looking at possible collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia in last year’s election, and whether Trump may have obstructed justice by firing FBI Director James Comey, among other actions. Trump denies any collusion or obstruction.
Reuters could not determine how large a legal bill Trump has incurred to date from his lawyers on the Mueller probe.

I suspect that the point is that we all may be watching Donnie break the law.

The reason the Clintons left the White House "dead broke" was because Bill racked up so much debt in legal fees.
Given the attempts of the deep state to destroy Trump (the wiretapping, the unmasking), he absolutely should retain the best criminal defense lawyers on the planet.
Was Bill Clinton guilty of something for hiring criminal defense lawyers? No, the presumption of innocence applied to him too.

johnny, we all agree that Trump needs the best lawyer he can get.
What is being questioned is whether his re-election donors should be paying for it, i.e. YOU.

Sounds like a fine use of donor money to me.
Everybody with half a brain knows the Left Wing is in wild rage and is seeking daily to destroy the presidency.

No one but the enraged, petulant child left has a problem with Trump spending money from whatever source to defend himself from leftists who observe no rules whatsoever.
Cry me a river you Marxist punk.

Tax payers should be paying for attorneys to insure the rights of "our" President are protected.

I'd be delighted to help pay for this.
After all, the Democrats are still engaging in the 2016 campaign.
They can't accept their loss.
