CNN previously reported the Republican National Committee spent more than $230,000 in August to cover legal fees for Trump, including more than $130,000 to his personal attorney Jay Sekulow.

report submitted to the Federal Elections Commission earlier this year showed the Trump campaign paid $50,000 to Futerfas' firm shortly after Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner amended his security clearance form to reflect a previously undisclosed meeting between top Trump campaign figures and several others, including Russian attorney Natalia Veselnitskaya.
