The fund is also paying Trump Jr.'s legal bills at the tune of $200,000 so far. Monies from Trump's re-election fund have also been used for his legal fees.
While Trump supporters will defend this by saying that it's legal not all that is legal is ethical. That is probably why Pence is paying his own legal fees. Why isn't it ethical? It leaves the door open to corruption and we can see how by examining who these private donors are. One of them is a property developer seeking U.S. government visas. If I wanted to win favor with the POTUS and get his attention I'd surely be donating money as well. The Ukrainian born billionaire has a business partner who has strong Russian connections. For a guy who is trying to deny he has any Russian connections the optics are not good. Russia keeps popping up all over the place in connection with Donald Trump, his business associates, some of his political appointees and his family as well.
