A Donald Trump campaign donor and Mar-a-Lago member gave $150,000 to a legal defense fund set up for current and former Trump aides mired in special counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia probe, according to a new filing with the IRS.

Anthony Lomangino, a recycling mogul and major GOP campaign contributor, gave two donations, in July and September, to the Patriot Legal Expense Trust Fund, according to the trust's latest filing.

Lomangino, the founder of a South Florida waste hauling company acquired by Waste Management in 2015, has also been a big recent donor to other GOP causes, including $17,300 in August to the National Republican Congressional Committee and $25,000 to Great America PAC, which backed Trump’s 2016 campaign and is now supporting the president’s agenda.

The latest IRS filing for the fund — set up in February to help current and former Trump aides and associates who need help hiring lawyers for the Mueller probe — shows a $114,000 payment for legal consulting to Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld.
