WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Donald Trump's presidential re-election campaign made a $50,000 payment in June to the law office now representing Donald Trump Jr. more than a week before revelations that the president's son had met with a Russian lawyer during the campaign.
The payment to the Law Offices of Alan S. Futerfas, dated June 27, was disclosed in a filing with the Federal Election Commission on Saturday. It was described as covering "legal consulting" fees. Separately, the campaign also paid Jones Day, the law firm that represented Trump's campaign during the election.
Spokesmen for Trump's re-election campaign and Futerfas could not be immediately reached for comment.

. Trump might need to distant himself from any of these people (including his son), if they had dealings with the Russians concerning the possibility of information or dirt on Hillary. If any of the information was true that was floating around in these parlors or back alleys, then great, but Trump needs to get to the business of doing his job in full, and not let this crap distract his adminstration any farther. Time to separate the office from the scandals, because America deserves an office that is getting the people's business accomplished. The conservatives need to circle the wagons and surround the presidency. The left are no better than what they are trying to accuse another of, so no more distractions, and let's get on with the business of fixing the nation. It's the conservatives at the wheel now, so the left needs to just sit back in the rumble seat, and enjoy the ride until they can put forth a candidate that is better than what they had put forth before.
So much for protecting and preserving the Republic. You got the guy YOU wanted, and you don't care HOW we was elected or what he's doing to repay Putin for his assistance.
Trump isn't doing the people's business because he's shitting himself in fear. He's behaving like a guilty man who's been caught. He lies, deflects and screams witch hunt but every new revelation, and his obsequious behaviour with Putin shows the true character of the scum you elected.
Jeff Sessions settling the legal case the Russian lawyer was involved in for pennies on the dollar and no admission of guilt shows what that meeting was really about.
In the meantime you idiots keep trying to connect this woman to GPF Funding and the Steele Dossier, which is a false flag. The Steele Dossier wasn't prepared by Russians. They had nothing to do with it.
For months you kept claiming there was no Russian hacking. That was a lie. Then Trump claimed that no one connected to his campaign had secret meetings with Russians. That was a lie. Then Trump said there was no collusion. That was a lie. Then you said Donald Trump wasn't under investigation for collusion. He is now.
This isn't going away and Trump is finished. His Presidency is over. Cut your losses. Pence was a lousy choice for VP but he's not a lying criminal, so in that regard he's better than Trump.
Hopefully the Reoublucans will continue with their total legislative gridlock so that they don't do too much damage to the economy ahead of the mid-terms.
