President Joe Biden and the “Democratic” National Committee have once again raised eyebrows for criticizing former President Donald Trump and the Republican National Committee for using campaign donations to cover legal expenses. According to a report by Axios, it was revealed that President Biden utilized campaign funds to assist in paying his legal bills during the special counsel’s investigation into his handling of classified documents. The legal bill payments, made through the Democratic National Committee, contradict recent attacks by the Biden campaign on Donald Trump for his use of campaign funds for legal fees.

The finance chair for Biden’s re-election bid had pledged on MSNBC that every donation to the campaign would go towards voter outreach and not towards legal bills. However, it has been disclosed that Biden’s re-election effort paid over $1 million to a law firm for legal expenses related to the special counsel’s probe. Additionally, the DNC increased its monthly payments to another law firm from $15,000 to $100,000, further raising questions about the use of campaign funds.
These revelations have sparked criticism and accusations of hypocrisy against the Biden administration. Despite condemning the investigation into President Biden’s handling of classified documents as “politically motivated,” it is evident that campaign funds were used to settle legal bills related to the probe. The Democratic National Committee has declined to provide specific details about the amount of money spent on legal work related to the investigation, adding to the lack of transparency surrounding the use of campaign donations.
