The Democratic National Committee (DNC) has been paying President Joe Biden’s legal fees incurred in connection with the investigation by special counsel Robert Hur into Biden’s handling of classified documents. This has been a point of contention, with the Republican National Committee (RNC) criticizing the DNC for using party funds to cover Biden’s personal legal expenses. According to sources and disclosures of expenditures filed by the DNC, the party committee has paid the law firm of Bob Bauer, the lead attorney representing Biden in Hur’s investigation, more than $1 million since last year – roughly $150,000 per month from July 2023 through February 2024. The DNC has also paid approximately $905,000 to Hemenway & Barnes LLP, the law firm of Jennifer Miller, who is named as one of the attorneys representing Biden in the special counsel probe. However, Hemenway & Barnes LLP has long represented the DNC, so it’s unclear how much of that payment was specifically for Biden’s legal fees. In contrast, the RNC has faced criticism from the Democrats for paying the legal fees of former President Donald Trump. The RNC has spent millions of dollars on Trump’s personal legal defense, including fees related to investigations into the January 6th attack on the U.S. Capitol and his handling of classified documents after leaving office. Democrats have argued that it is inappropriate for the RNC, which is meant to represent the broader Republican Party, to be using party funds to cover the legal expenses of a single individual, especially one who is no longer in office. They have accused the RNC of prioritizing the defense of Trump over the needs of the party as a whole. In contrast, the DNC has argued that it is appropriate for the party to support the legal defense of the sitting president, as the president’s legal issues could have broader implications for the party and the office of the presidency. However, the DNC’s spending on Biden’s legal fees has still drawn criticism from Republicans, who have accused the party of using donor funds to shield the president from the consequences of his actions. Overall, the differing approaches of the DNC and RNC to covering the legal expenses of their party’s leaders have become a point of political contention, with both sides accusing the other of prioritizing individual interests over the broader interests of their respective parties and the American people.

10+ polls are currently showing that the election is getting tighter and in some key states Biden is taking a slight lead. Trump is taking action! Listen to some of the crazy things he’s saying and how desperate he sounds.

The latest polls show that President Joe Biden is narrowing former President Donald Trump’s lead, and in some key states, Biden is even taking a slim lead. A variety of reputable polling organizations and media outlets have reported these same findings. Trump’s advantage is shrinking, and Biden has managed to overtake him in certain instances. However, it’s important to note that the election is still many months away, and these poll results are likely to change significantly by the time voters head to the polls. The fluctuating poll numbers have prompted a familiar response from Trump. As he did in the 2016 and 2020 elections, the former president is now ramping up his “election propaganda” rhetoric. When the polls showed Trump with a comfortable lead, he remained relatively quiet about the upcoming election, aside from his continued complaints about the 2020 contest. Now that the numbers are shifting in Biden’s favor, Trump has returned to making radical, unsubstantiated claims. Most notably, he has accused the Biden administration of allowing undocumented immigrants to cross the border so they can vote for the Democratic candidate. Trump even held a bizarre press conference with House Speaker Mike Johnson to spread these lies. This is yet another example of Trump’s tendency to escalate his rhetoric and spread disinformation as the electoral landscape changes. His own words encapsulate this pattern: “If I win, the election was the best ever. If I lose, the election was corrupt.” It remains to be seen how the poll numbers will evolve in the coming months and how Trump will continue to respond. Voters will need to be vigilant in separating fact from fiction and relying on authoritative sources as they make their decisions.

Leslie Stahl wiped the floor clean with Jim Jordan’s false statements about the 2020 election. Jordan claimed that most Americans question the elections (which is blatantly false). Leslie doesn’t let him get away with it. She leaves him speechless.
