WASHINGTON ? Michele Bachmann's presidential campaign?debt continues to dwindle, and the campaign has begun paying off its legal fees.?
Bachmann paid down more than $100,000 in outstanding debt during the second quarter after transferring $140,000 from her congressional campaign committee. She has $30,000 in debt remaining, most of which is owed to Florida firm Robert Watkins & Co., whose Nancy Watkins serves as the campaign?s treasurer.
New Bachmann for President expenses include nearly $49,000 for legal fees and services paid to D.C. law firm Patton Boggs. Her congressional campaign sent the firm an additional $120,000. The firm represents Bachmann and her presidential campaign and has helped her navigate both a now-settled civil suit in Iowa and investigations into the campaign?s spending habits by a handful of organizations, including the FBI and the Federal Elections Commission. The presidential campaign also paid the firm $6,248 for earlier obligations.
Bachmann?s congressional campaign raised $822,000 and has $1.8 million on hand. On May 29, Bachmann announced she will not run for re-election.
Look for our traditional quarterly fundraising round-up sometime Tuesday.
