Don Young's campaign funds pay for more attorney bills

By Erika Bolstad | McClatchy Newspapers


WASHINGTON -- Rep. Don Young's most recent campaign finance report shows that he continues to pay his sizeable legal bills using his campaign account.

Young's most recent filing with the Federal Election Commission shows that the Alaska Republican spent $20,000 last quarter with the Seattle law firm Siderius, Lonergan and Martin. It's not clear whether those bills were for campaign-related expenses or connected to an ongoing federal criminal probe. Young's campaign spokesman didn't return a phone call seeking comment.

Earlier this year, Young's campaign paid $90,020 to John Wolfe, a Seattle attorney who represented Young's campaign manager, Steve Dougherty, in the investigation.

Since the beginning of 2007, Young has spent more than $1 million in campaign contributions on legal fees related to a Justice Department probe -- which includes an investigation into fundraising.
