Trump’s super PAC has helped foot his legal bills. That might end soon

Save America, the PAC controlled by former President Donald Trump, has been a significant source of funding for his legal expenses and those of his allies. However, recent reports indicate that the PAC might be running low on cash after spending nearly $3.7 million on legal fees in March alone. Since the beginning of 2023, Save America has spent a staggering $59.5 million on legal consulting.

 

In March, over $1.1 million of Save America's spending went toward legal representation for Trump in his New York criminal hush money trial, almost matching the expenditures of Trump's official campaign committee for the same period. The campaign committee spent just over $3.7 million in March, primarily on travel expenses and payroll.

 

Despite the significant legal spending, Save America managed to stay financially afloat in March thanks to a $5 million refund from Make America Great Again Inc., a super PAC backing Trump. However, MAGA Inc. can only provide an additional $2.75 million to Save America, raising doubts about its ability to continue funding Trump's legal bills.

 

Save America had just over $4 million cash on hand at the end of March and may face challenges in raising additional funds, especially considering Trump's focus on fundraising for a new joint committee, Trump National Committee, which benefits his campaign and the Republican National Committee.

 

Meanwhile, MAGA Inc. reported raising $14 million in March, with substantial donations from prominent GOP donors like Linda McMahon and Robert Bigelow. However, most of these funds cannot be transferred to Save America due to limitations based on previous contributions during the 2022 cycle.

I thought Trump was a billionaire?

 

Why does he need anyone to pay his legal bills?

Stories with "might", "may" or "could" in the headline rarely pan out.

He's a grifter. Better to use other people's money than his own. Stunning so many fall for the pitch.

 

But. I think that this will have a huge impact on the elections. Biden having a bunch of money to spend on advertising. Trump stuck in court paying massive legal fees.

 

Right. Who could have seen this coming!
