While Mr. Biden has long professed a commitment to transparency, there is no legal requirement the president or his aides disclose the identity of his personal attorneys nor how they're being compensated.
President of the United States from 2017 to 2021, now in its third week, is what it claims is the unimpeachable conduct of the president's personal attorneys, led by longtime Biden legal hand, Bob Bauer.
But little is known about the team of attorneys representing the most powerful person in the world in his personal capacity. Aside from naming Bauer, the White House and Mr. Biden's legal team have thus far declined to disclose who else is representing the president. It's also not clear whether it is Mr. Biden who is paying his private attorneys' fees or another entity.
Levinson, Bauer's spokeswoman, told CBS News Tuesday, "the engagement is directly between the president and his lawyer on terms that in no way involve the use of taxpayer dollars."She would not say whether the president or anyone else is funding his personal counsel. Two sources familiar with the investigation told CBS News that Massachusetts-based attorney M. Patrick Moore had been part of the president's personal legal team dealing with the documents matter. Moore recently took a senior role in the Massachusetts attorney general's office and is no longer listed on his law firm's website.
In a statement last year, the RNC said it "approved paying for certain legal expenses that relate to politically motivated legal proceedings waged against President Trump."
