A PAC controlled by former President Donald Trump that has devoted tens of millions of dollars to his and his allies’ legal bills could be running out of cash after spending nearly $3.7 million on legal fees in March.
Save America, Trump’s leadership PAC, has now spent $59.5 million on legal consulting since the start of 2023. It also incurred $886,000 in new legal debt in March, according to a report filed with the Federal Election Commission late Saturday. More than $1.1 million of its March spending went toward two firms representing Trump in his New York criminal hush money trial.
The total spent on legal expenses for Save America was almost as much as Trump’s campaign committee in the month of March, highlighting how legal troubles have sucked up the cash of his political operation. Trump’s official campaign committee spent just over $3.7 million in March, with travel expenses, followed by payroll, occupying its biggest expenditure categories.
i wonder how many lawyers, in total, are currently representing Trump in his various legal proceedings. Does anyone have a tally? Does Trump, himself, even know?
He goes through them so fast it’s hard to keep track.
i don’t know how that could possibly look good on a resume
Given the ridiculous numbers thrown around I have to believe it’s a kickback scheme for Trump.
Trump takes $50 million in PAC money. Trump pays $50 million to Trump lawyers Inc of which Trump owns 90%. Lawyers get paid $5 million, Trump pockets $45 million.
You forgot the part where Trump reneges on paying the lawyer that $5 million, forcing that lawyer to spend his own money to sue Trump as Trump finds another lawyer to string along and defend him, until it’s time to turn his back on that lawyer, and so on…
