Donald Trump's using campaign donations to cover legal bills has become a hot topic in the media as they seek to undermine his campaign. However, he's not the only presidential candidate who has used campaign donations to cover legal expenses.

This is a rather significant revelation because, as the outlet notes, "The payments, made through the Democratic National Committee, are at odds with the Biden campaign's recent attacks on Donald Trump for spending his campaign funds on legal fees."

"Every single time you give to the campaign, we're going straight to talk to voters," claimed Biden's campaign finance chair last weekend on MSNBC. "We are not spending money on legal bills or hawking gold sneakers."

According to the financial filings of the Democratic National Committee (DNC), which has been jointly fundraising with Joe Biden through the entirety of this campaign, they paid $1.5 million to lawyers and law firms on behalf of Biden as he was investigated for mishandling classified documents.
