Trump pledges $430K to help cover legal bills of aides amid Russia probe
By Josh Delk - 10/21/17 03:57 PM EDT President Trump has pledged to spend at least $430,000 of his own money to help cover legal fees for White House aides and campaign staff related to the probe into Russia's election meddling.
A White House official Axios and The Washington Post on Saturday that Trump's pledge is not meant as a reimbursement for the Republican National Committee (RNC), which has spent a nearly identical amount to lawyers representing the president and his eldest son Donald Trump Jr.
The official told Axios that the money would be used to "to defray the costs of legal fees for his associates, including former and current White House aides."
