Donald Trump’s political operation is reeling after spending around $60 million on legal fees pertaining to the four criminal indictments and various ongoing civil lawsuits against him.
Disclosures indicate that Trump’s campaign and the various political action committees supporting it blew through tens of millions of dollars in 2023, leaving him cash-strapped heading into 2024.
Save America PAC, Trump’s primary PAC heading into his likely rematch with President Joe Biden, once had over $100 million in the bank. Now, it has just a little over $5 million left after spending over $25 million on legal bills in the second half of last year alone.
Legally - Trump can’t use the super PAC funds at all. The super PAC decides what it does with the money. The PAC chose to pay the legal fees… However - we all know behind closed doors there is plenty of communication about what that money is used for…
At least that is my understanding of super pacs
Edit: it’s not a super PAC sorry, just a PAC. I’m not a Pac-Man so I got confused. Wakka wakka.
