You may have heard recent accounts of negotiations between lawyer Marc E. Kasowitz, a lawyer for the Trump family and the Manhattan District Attorney regarding the possibility of charging Ivanka Trump and Donald Trump Jr. for allegedly misleading investors in a condo-hotel project. The stories highlighted that Mr. Vance had received a $25,000 contribution from Mr. Kasowitz (which was returned prior to the meeting) and that a year later Mr. Vance’s campaign accepted a $32,000 gift from Mr. Kasowitz, only to end up returning it seven weeks ago after reporters highlighted it.
Should there be some limits to, or regulation of, defense lawyers' contributions to District Attorney's campaigns? The New York Times discusses the issue in a recent article you can access here.
