In Jul 2017, Trump Org entered into an agreement with Michael Cohen to pay his attorneys’ fees and costs in connection with Cohen’s representation and defense in the Investigations. Trump Org honored its agreement until Cohen began cooperating.

Of note: Trump Org agreed to pay Michael Cohen's legal fees, but FEC records show that 3 payments [totaling $228K] to Cohen's attorneys between Oct 2017 and Jan 2018 were made by Trump's campaign, which appears to be illegal use of campaign funds.

"In Dec 2017, the Trump Org confirmed that it would continue to pay Michael Cohen's legal fees and expenses in connection with the Investigations...this affirmation followed a direct appeal to Trump Org executives *Don Jr* and *Eric* by Mr. Cohen."
