This is strange

The GOP reportedly agreed to fund up to $1.6 million of former President Trumps legal bills to fight probes into his business practices in New York, according to the Washington Post.
The Post reported that the partys executive committee overwhelmingly approved the payments during a meeting last summer in Nashville, indicating that the GOPs vow to fund Trumps personal legal fees is 10 times higher than previously known.
Last month, the GOP claimed in campaign-finance filings that it paid the former presidents personal attorneys $121,670 in October. According to the Post, the party has issued more payments since then with the RNC paying $578,000 last month to attorneys representing both Trump and his businesses.
The payments are reportedly expected to continue in the next several months, and the executive committee could move to fund more than $1.6 million in Trumps legal bills.
