Trump campaign paid legal fees to firm representing Jared Kushner

[RNG]

Aren't there laws governing what can be done with campaign contributions including those left over after the campaign?

I thought this would be illegal.

The president's son-in-law's estimated net worth is more than $300 million.

President Donald Trump's campaign has spent nearly $100,000 of donor money to pay legal bills to the firm representing Jared Kushner, the latest campaign finance records show.

The president's re-election campaign made two payments to the firm, Winston & Strawn LLP – $55,330 and $42,574. The expenditures were payments to Kushner's attorney Abbe Lowell for Kushner’s legal fees, sources with knowledge of the payments told to ABC News. Lowell joined the firm in May 2018.

You mean this last line from the article?

The fund's guidelines state that Trump himself and his family members are prohibited from getting help from the Patriot Fund.
