On Tuesday, McGahn was a no-show at a hearing in front of the committee, which had issued a subpoena for him to testify.Jones Day is the main legal firm for the Trump campaign, which has paid the firm $5.6 million between January 2017 and March 2019 for legal consulting. The majority of the $2 million encompassed “routine campaign and election-related legal expenses that have accrued over the course of the last few years while we worked to finalize the amounts owed,” the RNC statement read.
So?
Doesn’t surprise me. GOP is the party that greases the palms of supporters just like Trump hotel on DC. Might as well make the bank accounts open check book for Trumps needs. Our laws no longer mean anything. Remember Trumps charity fund, college, ?
TwoMillionReasons for DonMcGahn not to show up!
rhonda_harbison Everyone gets paid to toe the line.
real_farmacist No wonder he won’t testify
Bribery!!!
Is that a bribe? Can't be legal
Can we find out what legitimate 'services' that $2M is for?
Good.
So now the Republican Party institution too has fallen, not just the corrupt people.
This is a drop in the bucket to Jones Day. It should have no leverage either way.
Hush money!
Corruption runs deep.
