WHILE we're watching the carnage, White House legal defense fund close to launching
TRUMP WHITE HOUSE needs a "legal defense fund"...but ALL Trump has to say in his perpetual, whining, narcissistic projection is:
"Crooked Hillary!" "Crooked Hillary!" "Crooked Hillary!" "Crooked Hillary!" "Crooked Hillary!" "Crooked Hillary!" "Crooked Hillary!" "Crooked Hillary!" "Crooked Hillary!" "Crooked Hillary!"
Some White House aides who face legal bills as a result of the congressional and special counsel investigations into Russian meddling in the 2016 election could get financial support as soon as this week, a senior White House aide said on Monday.
The finishing touches are being put on a legal defense fund to help mid-level staffers pay for their attorneys, said Ty Cobb, a lawyer in President Donald Trumps White House.
Its well underway and ideally will be formatted this week so your average person who shouldnt be forced to pay a lot of legal fees will have access to funds, Cobb said.
Cobb cautioned that some key technical and legal details are still being finalized around how the money will be distributed to staffers, who will manage it and what the rules will be for contributing to the fund.
Last week, the Office of Government Ethics issued an advisory opinion clarifying its nearly 25-year-old internal policy that it does not permit anonymous donations to legal defense funds. White House aides have previously said they do not intend to allow anonymous gifts for staffers who need help paying for their lawyers.
