Miller files legal defense paperwork
From the good folks at CQ Politics:
Although Jan. 30 was the deadline for House lawmakers with legal expense funds to file quarterly reports with the Clerk of the House, disclosure reports for some of the active funds had not yet been made public as of Wednesday afternoon.Among those beating the deadline was Democrat Brad Miller of North Carolina, who disclosed collecting $30,500 in legal expense fund donations during the last quarter of 2007 - roughly enough to cover $30,000 in legal bills that came due during the fall.
Miller established his fund in 2004 to help defray the costs of a defamation lawsuit brought against him by his 2002 election opponent, Carolyn Grant.
