The Democratic National Committee (DNC) has funneled millions of dollars to law firms actively involved in an aggressive lawfare campaign against President Donald Trump.
The information came to light after a comprehensive review of Federal Election Commission (FEC) records conducted by the Daily Caller.
According to FEC filings, since August 2021, the DNC has allocated nearly $2 million to Kaplan Hecker & Fink LLP for ‘legal services’. Roberta A. Kaplan, a founding partner of the firm, gained recognition for representing E. Jean Carroll in her lawsuits alleging sexual assault and defamation by Trump. Interestingly, prior to August 2021, the DNC had not engaged this firm for any services since its establishment in 2017.
The timing and details of these payments are raising questions, especially since Joshua Matz, another partner at Kaplan Hecker & Fink LLP, served as counsel for the House Judiciary Committee during both of Trump’s impeachment trials.
