Rep. Don Young's legal fees -- paid from his campaign account -- top $1 million
CREW named Alaska's U.S. House member, Don Young, one of the most corrupt members of Congress. He's under investigation by federal authorities -- and his legal bills are really adding up:
U.S. Rep. Don Young has spent more than $1.1 million on lawyers who have helped fend off Justice Department investigations, according to a campaign spending report filed Tuesday with the Federal Election Commission.
Young crossed the million-dollar threshold earlier this year, when his campaign wrote checks for $93,725 and $119,004 in legal fees to Washington, D.C., law firm Akin Gump Strauss Hauer and Feld.
Young paid the legal bills from his campaign account even after he established a separate legal expense fund this winter to help pay for lawyers. He has until April 30 to disclose the activity in that account.
