The Republican National Committee has paid nearly half a million dollars to a law firm representing former White House communications director Hope Hicks in the ongoing Russia investigation, Federal Election Commission records show.
The two payments in April, totaling $451,779, were made to Trout
Cacheris & Janis for "legal and compliance services." Hicks is
represented by the firm’s founder, Robert Trout. Two additional
attorneys at the firm represent other witnesses in the Russia probe.
In late February, Hicks appeared before the House Intelligence Committee
for a closed-door interview related to Russia interference in the 2016
election but refused to answer questions about her time in the White
House, according to Republicans and Democrats on the panel.
