Trump DOJ and Special Counsel investigations into Trump's activities surpass $9 million in costs

The Justice Department's investigations into Donald Trump's handling of classified documents and his attempts to overturn the 2020 election have cost $5.4 million in the first five months and are ongoing. Former special counsel John Durham's inquiry into the origins of the Russia investigation cost $1.1 million in the final six months, while special counsel Robert Hur spent $615,000 investigating President Joe Biden's handling of classified documents. The simultaneous operation of three special counsels is unusual, and the investigations are focused on various aspects of Trump and Biden's actions.
