President Trump will provide some financial assistance to campaign associates and White House staff facing steep legal bills amid various Russia investigations.

A White House official told Axios that the president has pledged to spend at least $430,000 of his own money, which is the estimated amount the Republican National Committee has said footing the bill for lawyers representing Trump and his son Donald Trump Jr.

However, the unnamed official said that the president is not reimbursing the RNC.

This is decent. One way the Dems destroy people is to tie them up with legal bills they have to pay out of pocket, a situation which can be devastating, economically, without ever having been charged with a crime. It is a way to inflict punishment on someone without charging them with anything.
