Four months as a communications adviser to Donald Trumps campaign have turned Michael Caputos life upside down.
Since congressional investigators decided they wanted to interview Caputo as part of an investigation into Russias interference in the 2016 election, hes drained his childrens college fund to pay more than $30,000 in legal fees. He bought guns for his home and office after receiving death threats. He worries about the stress on his wife and daughters.
The former Trump aide has had a colorful career as a media relations consultant; in past gigs, he spread U.S. propaganda in Latin America and hired a man in a chicken suit to taunt a campaign rival. He worked in Russia from 1994 to 2000, including as an adviser to the former president, Boris Yeltsin, and for Gazprom Media, which was favorable to Vladimir Putin.

May they all end up broke and in jail.
ETA: Let me add that I have no sympathy for anyone who goes to work for Trump. The man has demonstrated all of his awful personality traits throughout his miserable life. When evaluating his personal and professional history, I cannot understand why anyone would get involved with him in any way.
Caveat emptor, I guess.
