President Biden and former President Donald Trump aren’t breaking any laws when they use donor support to help foot their legal bills, but they risk turning off donors and voters. A candidate can’t use campaign funds for personal reasons — but the Democratic National Committee, the Republican National Committee and political action committees can contribute […]
ATLANTA (AP) – Leaders of Georgia’s Fulton County testified Friday before a special state Senate committee that they had no legal power to control District Attorney Fani Willis‘ spending or her hiring of former special prosecutor Nathan Wade.

President Biden, trailing former President Donald Trump in the seven swing states that could decide the 2024 election, sees a path to victory by outgunning the Trump team with a powerful ground game funded by a significant campaign cash advantage.

Congressional Republicans, stung by embarrassing projects that slipped into spending bills this year, announced rules Thursday to limit the types of pork-barrel projects that can be funded.
