Trump once said he would pay legal fees for people who beat up protesters.
"So if you see somebody getting ready to throw a tomato, knock the crap out of 'em, would you? Seriously. Okay? Just knock the hell — I promise you, I will pay for the legal fees. I promise. I promise."
First, will Trump honor his pledge to pay legal fees? And second, can he, legally?
He can pay anyone's legal fees from his personal funds that he chooses, there is no law against that. I am wondering when he personally gets sued, it's coming. I found the following interesting:
"Sutton notes that there's precedent for a campaign being liable for an injury suffered by a protester at a campaign event. At an inauguration event for former California governor Pete Wilson (R), a protester sued after being injured by event attendees. The cost of those injuries ended up in the lap of the campaign committee -- the legal entity that holds a campaign's money -- and its insurer."

I don't know if he would honor his pledge, but legally, yes he can pay anybody's legal fees. You can also pay other people's legal fees if you want to. I have paid my friend's legal fees once.
