Donald Trump to 'spend personal fortune paying legal fees for aides' caught up in Russia probe

Donald Trump put almost $500,000 (£379,000) of his own money towards the legal bills of his administration staff and campaign aides who are embroiled in investigations into Russian meddling in the US presidential election. The President has dismissed claims his campaign team may colluded with Moscow, but the an investigation into the allegations is being led by Special Counsel Robert Mueller. It is unclear how the $460,000 (£348,000) will be accessed and who will be able to request it, but campaign aides' legal costs are expected be considerably more than half-a-million dollars.
