Spokesmen for Trump's re-election campaign and Futerfas did not respond to requests for comment. Futerfas was revealed as Trump Jr's lawyer on Monday after a New York Times report detailed meetings between the president's eldest son and the Russian lawyer. Separately, the campaign also paid more than $538,000 to Jones Day, the law firm that represented Trump's campaign during the election. The campaign also paid $89,561 for "legal consulting" to The Trump Corporation, which is owned by the president. In the second quarter of 2017, Trump's re-election campaign raised about $8 million and spent $4.4 million, according to Saturday's disclosures.
