An expanding special counsel probe into the Trump campaign's alleged Russian ties has saddled many of President Trump's current and former associates with hefty legal fees and left them few options for footing the bill.
More than a dozen people, including the president and vice president, are known to have hired attorneys to help them navigate special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation and several additional probes in Congress. Some have complained about the burden of paying for their legal bills without assistance from the wealthy president whose campaign is in the crosshairs of federal investigators.
"It's very expensive and nobody's called me and offered to help," Michael Caputo, a former Trump campaign adviser who has been contacted by congressional investigators, told the Washington Examiner.
"The problem is, it's very specialized representation, so it takes a certain type of attorney, and they're quite competent. And you'll pay for competency," Caputo said.
The former Trump communications adviser said he has hired a New York-based attorney near his hometown of East Aurora, N.Y., which has helped him save moderately on costs by allowing him to confer locally rather than travel back and forth to Washington, D.C.
But Caputo said he still had to liquidate his children's college fund to pay the tab for his lawyer.

Me, too. I’m going to quote you, ok? Well said. :) I’m not a very good writer. Mom and bro are great. I paint.
seriously. Look at all the unconstitutional crap the last administration pulled and no one did a dang thing.
I have a suspicion that most of the attorneys assume the president will help these campaign consultants with their legal bils and are charging accordingly - what the market will bear!
The Russia probes are like being a Jew in Germany in the 30.s all is true democrat style.
This whole investigation thing is going in the wrong direction at the behest of Obama, Clinton’s etc. pushing the holdover lawyers and behind the scenes Clintonites and Obama legal assembly....Muller must be investigated...he is putting the nation is harms way investigating a sitting President and can’t find a crime. Get Muller, Lynch, Soros, Rhodes, Clinton, Huma, Wasserman Shultz, Susan Rice....these people are all anti-constitution and anti-American.....Do Something Ryan and McConnell! For the Lord’s sake stop this madness...get behind your President! Read the Constitution...it is your guide on how to proceed with traitors.
No. The fact is that the deep state, primarily the democrats, have weaponized and politicized investigations for years causing the process to be the punishment.
No one can fight an enemy with endless resources.
This is what was happening to Sarah Palin. It is the new weapon of destruction.
Thanks. It just seems a miscarriage of justice to prosecute someone with a special prosector who can spend unlimited resources. I’m not sure how the citizen can ever win against that kind of money even if they’ve done nothing wrong.

Why has Donald Trump not spoken out?
Will he help pay these bills, will he support a counter suit against Robert Mueller and the DNC?
Going to the Rose Garden to name Comey as Mueller's replacement at the FBI.
Obama praised Mueller for his exemplary public service.
