Michael Knowles: Feds Should Pay Trump’s Legal Bills

“I think this should be paid for by the federal government. Not one red cent is gonna come out of a taxpayer here. OK? President Trump’s legal fees – we’ve never seen anything like this in America. They are throwing everything they can to destroy this man. His legal fees amount to, according to him, about a hundred million dollars right now.

“In 2022, according to the Government Accountability Office, the US government wasted $247 billion just in improper payments. I’m not saying they wasted it on some stupid study, you know, like lesbian obesity in seahorses or something. I mean, just in payments the government should not have made that they did make for no reason whatsoever, they spent $247 billion.

“Trump’s legal fees are a hundred million dollars. So, you divide that number in half, then you go an order of magnitude lower and you’d still have a lot of change left over. But this should be paid for by the government. It wouldn’t be paid for by the taxpayer, but it would be paid for by the government.” – Michael Knowles, who says DeSantis did the right thing by killing a Florida bill to pay Trump $5 million.
