A legal defense fund is reportedly in progress to pay for Trump team lawyers

The lawyers selected "will likely bill between $500 and $1000 per hour."

hope Hicks' lawyer is reported to be Robert Trout of Trout Cacheris & Janis, a Washington, D.C., firm.

hope Hick was present during key events, like the crafting of Trump's misleading statement about the meeting Donald Trump Jr. had with a Russian lawyer before the election.

By using lawyers, they eliminate that complication when the subject has to be given negative reinforcement.
