What happened

From 2019 through the eve of Trump's second inauguration, four Trump-aligned committees, including his 2024 campaign and the Republican National Committee, paid the Dhillon Law Group a combined $13,847,315, most of it from the campaign itself.

After the payments, founder Harmeet Dhillon was confirmed as the Justice Department's Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights and partner David Warrington became White House Counsel, where his name later surfaced in the commutation of his former client Imaad Zuberi.

Between August 11, 2022 and the day before Trump's second inauguration, four Trump-affiliated committees disbursed a combined $13,847,315 to Dhillon Law Group, per Federal Election Commission Schedule B records: $7,262,161 from the Trump 2024 principal campaign committee (Never Surrender, Inc.), $3,493,733 from the Republican National Committee, $2,874,536 from Save America PAC, and $216,885 from Make America Great Again PAC. Harmeet Dhillon founded the firm and built it into a leading conservative election-law and First Amendment practice; David Warrington was a partner. Warrington became White House Counsel at the start of the second Trump administration; Dhillon was confirmed as Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights in April 2025. Payments continued to flow to the firm after both took administration roles -- roughly $4M in 2025 and early 2026 across the four committees -- but are excluded from this pre-inauguration figure.
