“Mr. Chairman, I have been examining this issue for many months now and have come to the conclusion that the White House Counsel's Office continues to use taxpayer funds to pay legal staff to work on the President's personal legal issues. I think this is clearly a misuse of taxpayer funds. That is why I introduced a sense of the House resolution this March that, along with the cosponsorship of 30 of my colleagues, sends a clear signal to the White House that the public will not stand for footing personal legal bills of its elected officials. Mr. Chairman, the White House Counsel's Office does not need 34 staff members, when previous Counsel's Office staff was limited to seven at most, and the American taxpayers should not be held accountable for $2.36 million in salaries for this legal work.”
