the mystery that remains from day one of the trump administration, from the trump inauguration, is that it would seem just based on what it costs to produce the obama inauguration and the size of the trump one it would seem that the trump inauguration likely has tens of millions of dollars left over. and adding to the mystery and the intense of grieg arouintrig this, they can t say what happened to all that money or how they re accounting for it and what they plan to do with it. in june, the inaugural committee told the a.p. a full and kleecl external audit has been completed. they never released an audit publicly and we asked and they re not giving us one now. the inaugural committee said in september they d publicly disclose their finances including gifts to charity they would make from their leftover money. they said they would do that in november. come november that did not happen. committee said in september they would wrap up the committee the committee would conclude in accord
have something that i would like to know. for several months we ve been reporting on and asking about a bigable financial mystery concg the trump inauguration. the trump inaugural committee raised double the amount of money that had been raised for the previous record which was the first obama inauguration in 2009. trump folks raised over $100 million for an inauguration that i m sure was loads of fun but it was not all that big. for an inauguration many times smaller than the obama 2009 inauguration the trump folks raised more than twice as much mon money. this is like one family buys a brand new full scale rock star tour bus and the neighboring family buys a second hand lawn tractor and then you find out that the second hand lawn tractor family paid twice as much. it doesn t make any sense. it doesn t make any sense.
the boss paying your legal bills this remains an open question. would the president start personally paying the legal bills of staffers in the white house being called to testify potentially for him or against him? seemed like that was what the fund was set up for but sure enough the day after we first reported on the new existence of this fund, cnn reported the president is unlikely to contribute to this fund because it will bankroll bills for multiple officials, some of whom may need to speak to special counsel investigators. so this is a sticky wicket. money for the president? yeah, maybe not. how do we deal with that with the fund? sticky. well, where else could the money come from to fund these legal fees with the russia scandal legal defense fund? on this point, on the point of where the trump legal defense fund is going to get it money, i

want. effectiveness, integrity, commitment to results and not more of the same partisan nonsense. well, that s what you hear jon ossoff saying is that it s a local race, not a national race with national implications. karen handle, the republican in this case, is taking a very different view. she s saying that national democrats have put jon ossoff into this race and given him this extraordinary amount of mon money. i attended a rally of hers. this is what she had to say. his values are some 3,000 miles away. the people of the sixth district are not about to let nancy pelosi or the people of california and new york and massachusetts tell us who our next congressman is going to be.
