The Republican National Committee paid a Washington, D.C., law firm representing former White House communications director Hope Hicks more than $450,000 in April, new federal financial filings show.
The report filed with the Federal Election Commission shows two payments were made to the firm Trout Cacheris & Janis. The first payment of $275,534 was made on April 18, and a second payment of $176,245 was made on April 19.
The payments are described as for “legal and compliance services” on the FEC report filed Sunday.
Hicks hired Robert Trout in September to represent her in special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 election.
The firm represents multiple other clients in both Mueller’s probe and the investigations into Russian meddling launched by the Senate and House Intelligence Committees, the firm’s website states.

Last year, the RNC spent $230,000 to help pay for President Trump’s legal costs, in addition to $200,000 in legal fees for Donald Trump Jr.
