Trump now paying his own legal bills

United States President Donald Trump has begun paying his legal bills related to the investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 campaign out of his own pocket.

Trump, who claims a multibillion-dollar net worth, is also working with the Office of Government Ethics and tax law experts to personally pay the legal bills of some White House staffers caught up in the multiple investigations into his administration and his presidential campaign.


"The President is paying his own legal fees, as was always his preference. He does not want to deplete any funds that may be available to assist current and former staffers," CNN quoted Ty Cobb, the White House's special counsel on the Russia matter, as saying in a statement.

"The Administration and others are working with the Office of Government Ethics and tax specialists to create a lawful mechanism for payment of fees for staffers. It is expected to be operational shortly," he added.

According to the report, the Republican National Committee had earlier paid for Trump's legal bills, amounting more than $230,000 from a legal expense fund to the firms of two of Trump's personal attorneys, John Dowd and Jay Sekulow.


However, it is unclear who paid to Marc Kasowitz, the first lawyer Trump hired to oversee the response to the growing probe into allegations of collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia during the 2016 campaign.

Google on Thursday announced to rename its year old Android Wear brand to Wear OS. To simplify, Android Wear will henceforth be called Wear OS by Google. The new brand name for say makes a little more sense than Android Wear because alongside Android users, there are also some handful iPhone users who users Android watches. Looks like the new branding Wear OS will eventually show up on some of the watches and mobile applications in the forthcoming weeks. "So as the watch industry gears up for another Baselworld next week, we're announcing a new name that better reflects our technology, vision, and most important of all-the people who wear our watches. We're now Wear OS by Google, a wearables operating system for everyone," notes Google. To recall, the Android Wear brand was initially introduced just a year ago, in 2014. The change in name of the brand is mainly because, these wearable devices are not just by Android users but by iPhone users as well. Hence, naming...

OnePlus to improve OnePlus 5T's camera with a software update in Dec: Carl Pei

-
OnePlus 5T will get camera improvements in the upcoming month. That's what the company co-founder Carl Pei promises. OnePlus 5T is a great phone, but like every good stuff, OnePlus 5T has some cons too. 5T is a much enhanced and improved version of the predecessor OnePlus 5, but then, one area that the device falls a bit is in its low-light photography department. And keeping the bad stuff in mind -- Carl Pei on Friday took to the OnePlus forum to post that OnePlus 5T is going to get a major software update in Dec, and that will give a massive boost to the phone's camera setup, especially in its low light photography. It seems, OnePlus -- going by its tagline "Never settle" doesn't probably wants to rest for now. OnePlus 5T has been off to a blazing start, not just in India but all over the world. The company managed to sell out all the units within just 5 minutes, at least that's what the company claims. The OnePlus 5T's next sale is set for Nov 28. Wit...
