Trump Campaign Paid $93,181 in Stormy Daniels Legal Fees

The money went to the firm of Charles Harder, who also represented Hulk Hogan in his case against Gawker.

Federal Election Commission filings show President Donald Trump's 2020 campaign has spent more than $835,000 in legal fees this year, including more than $93,000 paid to the firm representing Trump in the Stormy Daniels case. CNN reports the legal fees make up “more than one-fifth” of the total expenditures, and $93,181.25 was paid to the firm of Charles Harder–who also represented Hulk Hogan in his case against Gawker—in the first two months of 2018. Roughly $347,000 went to law firm Jones Day, and $185,000 went to firm Larocca Hornik Rosen Greenberg & Blaha. Fired White House aide and 2020 campaign staffer John McEntee has received a total of $22,000 in payments starting March 23, the filings show. $1.7 million was given to campaign manager Brad Parscale, and $150,000 was also paid to Trump businesses from the campaign.
