On Friday, someone defaced the website for the organization funding the legal costs for some Trump staffers and allies.
The website for former President Donald Trump’s legal defense fund appears to have been hacked and defaced over the weekend. As of the writing of this blog, the defacement is still live on the site and has not been taken down.
The Patriot Legal Defense Fund is a fundraising effort launched approximately a week ago by high-level members of the Trump team, with the stated goal of paying off the legal expenses of Trump’s political allies and staffers. Many of those allies and staffers are currently mired in the numerous, ongoing legal investigations into the former President, and are beset by court-related costs. While the Patriot fund has notably said it won’t be paying the legal bills for Trump or his family, The Daily Beast recently flagged some potential ethics issues involving the group that are probably worth looking into.
