Trump's new acting attorney general, Matthew Whitaker, made pretty good money - $420,000 - as the head of an organization going after possible ethical shortcomings by Hillary Clinton and other prominent Democrats. 
Some of the group's biggest expenditures in 2016 - besides paying Whitaker - were payments to America Rising, an LLC affiliated with a PAC that does opposition research on Democrats; and the public relations firm behind Swift Boat Veterans for Truth.
It also paid $296,780 in 2016 to the law firm that later represented then-Attorney General Sessions when he was being questioned by the Senate Intelligence Committee about his contacts with the Russian ambassador during the presidential campaign.
The group, the Foundation for Accountability and Civic Trust, also spent $43,730 on travel in 2016.
The group reported about $1.4 million in revenue in 2016, but hasn't disclosed who is funding it.
