Revealed: Trump’s lawyer Jay Sekulow runs the American Center for Law and Justice (ACLJ) which has donated $3.3 million to a Russian evangelical org with close Kremlin ties, an @openDemocracy and @MotherJones investigation reveals, by @tahovhannisyan https://www.opendemocracy.net/en/5050/revealed-trump-lawyer-funds-putin-linked-religious-lobbyists-russia/
ACLJ filings show it has sent hundreds of thousands $ a year to Moscow-based Slavic Center of Law and Justice (SCLJ), founded by ACLJ in the 1990s & led by Vladimir Ryakhovsky, a Russian lawyer who serves on Putin’s controversial human rights council https://www.opendemocracy.net/en/5050/revealed-trump-lawyer-funds-putin-linked-religious-lobbyists-russia/
This 2017 WaPo story revealed that Sekulow’s charities raised nearly $230 million in donations from 2011 to 2015 and of that $28.5 million went to Sekulow’s family or their companies https://www.washingtonpost.com/investigations/trump-attorney-jay-sekulows-family-has-been-paid-millions-from-charities-they-control/2017/06/27/6428d988-5852-11e7-ba90-f5875b7d1876_story.html
It's so on brand that Trump has asked Giuliani and Sekulow to oversee post election-related legal issues https://www.thedailybeast.com/trump-taps-rudy-giuliani-and-jay-sekulow-to-oversee-post-election-legal-battles
I wouldn't discount Giuliani - he may be incompetent as a lawyer, but he's well networked with shady characters who know how to fight dirty, not to mention having a direct line to known Russian agents...
