Trump Wants Americans To Pay His 'Expenses' Including Legal Fees in Suit Blocking Jan. 6 Committee
TFG also wanted the DOJ/American taxpayers to pay one-half of the costs the special master in the Mar-A-Lago litigation. This is a really stupid demand by TFG

Former President Donald Trump has demanded Americans foot the bill for his “expenses” in a new filing that seeks to invalidate the January 6 Committee subpoena.
The January 6 Committee held its purported final hearing several weeks ago, which featured never-before-seen evidence and testimony, new footage of the attack from inside and outside the Capitol, and climaxed with a dramatic vote to subpoena Trump.....
Toward the end of the suit is the fun detail that Trump and his lawyers want taxpayers to foot the bill for any subpoena-related costs. The suit demands “An award in favor of President Trump for his reasonable expenses, including attorney’s fees and costs incurred as a result of the Subpoena.”
As the New York Times notes, the delay this suit will likely cause could run out the clock for Trump if Republicans succeed in taking the majority in the House of Representatives and disband the committee, as they have promised to do.
