Weeks after Robert F. Kennedy Jr. dropped out of the presidential race in August and endorsed Donald Trump, the Trump campaign paid a California law firm that lists Kennedy among its lawyers, according to Federal Election Commission records. The Trump campaign — now known as Never Surrender Inc. — disbursed $100,000 to “JW Howard Attorneys” on Sept. 13, just three weeks after Kennedy bowed out of the race and backed Trump, FEC records show. The Trump campaign made no other payments to JW Howard Attorneys during the 2023-24 election cycle, according to FEC records. JW Howard did not receive payments from any other campaign or committee as of mid-October 2024, according to the records. The Trump transition team, a spokesperson for Kennedy and JW Howard did not respond to requests for comment.
