Donald Trump PACs Reportedly Spent $50 Million In Donor Funds On Legal Fees Last Year
"Former President Donald Trump spent around $50 million of donor funds on legal bills and expenses last year, a staggering sum following his indictment in four separate cases, according to The New York Times.
Multiple Trump super PACs have been paying the expenses after securing an initial firehouse of donations to the former president after his loss to Joe Biden in the 2020 presidential election. Trump pushed unfounded and false claims of voter fraud to stoke his supporters to donate after his defeat, efforts that have since become key to two of the indictments filed against him.
Save America, a Trump PAC that at one point had more than $100 million in the bank, nearly went broke last year amid the crush in legal fees. The super PACs paid for attorneys for both the former president and some of his aides that have been named in the indictments, including Walt Nauta and Carlos de Oliveira. The pair were both charged in the case surrounding Trump’s handling of classified documents after he left the White House."
