I saw that. I'm beginning to think Trump doesn't know anyone who isn't crooked.

Charities steered $65 million to Trump lawyer Jay Sekulow and familyJay Sekulow, one of President Donald Trump’s lead attorneys during the impeachment trial, is being paid for his legal work through a rented $80-a-month mailbox a block away from the White House. The Pennsylvania Avenue box appears to be the sole physical location of the Constitutional Litigation and Advocacy Group, a for-profit corporation co-owned by Sekulow. The firm has no website and is not listed in national legal directories. The District of Columbia Bar has no record of it, and no attorneys list it as their employer. But Sekulow, 63, is registered as chief counsel at the American Center for Law and Justice, a non-profit Christian legal advocacy group based in an expansive Capitol Hill row house a short walk from the Senate chamber. A half dozen lawyers employed by the non-profit ACLJ are named in recent Senate legal briefs as members of Trump’s defense team — including one of Sekulow’s sons. The ACLJ, as a tax-exempt 501(c)(3) organization, is barred under IRS rules from engaging in partisan political activities. The Republican National Committee has paid more than $250,000 to Sekulow’s for-profit CLA Group since 2017, when he was first named to Trump’s legal team as special counsel Robert Mueller was leading the Russia investigation, according to campaign disclosures.

It won't be the first time. Trump used money from his charity to pay his legal fees.
....then he's got the audacity to say he's "draining the swamp" and "investigating corruption"

It's a great pity the right of free speech isn't based on the obligation to say something sensible.

I've put a link in the OP to the AP article. You may put a small excerpt from an article into your post but you MUST put in a link, at least.
