And how do they keep a line between Trump personal legal bills and official white house legal?

When he first took office he put his personal real estate lease and trademark attorney in as white house counsel, and promptly sent him on an official foreign envoy where he had trump resort entity things going on. Jerod did the same thing where he was picking the prime piece of property for a future building by an airport.

Isn't it, there's a pretty vague line between what Trump needs attorneys for on personal matters and what is official business.

So if he has a personal issue with the misuse of campaign funds, paying for attorneys fees would likely be misuse of campaign funds. Same for issues surrounding New York going after the Trump Foundation for misusing funds.

He is mixing personal attorneys with official business, and law firms can charge a million for the official, and next to nothing for the personal. I suspect there will be some extensive auditing of attorney's fees at some point. Something the GOP never would have done but dems will.

That's a bit different than mixing personal and government legal fees, and misusing campaign funds.

Trump already declared he was running and started collecting campaign donations which he has been using for extensive legal fees that have vague ties to being campaign expenses.

If he's doing a campaign rally should he be able to use government resources or should he have to pay for the expenses?

Very good point and knowing his snakey business principles and ethics, the Dem's need to do their due diligence, his lawyers I'm sure they know every conniving loophole in the book and probably some never tried before as we've already have seen with this unscrupulous administration.

I've wondered about that during this past e******n as he was flying around the country, promoting himself through the running candidate,(he never misses an opportunity to get in front of a crowd) even today, him flying to the wall was supposed to be another campaign promo and not really about the wall. Glad he's getting frequent flyer miles on our dime.
