Trump biographer raises questions about his wealth as campaign donors foot the bill for his many lawyers
Former President Donald Trump’s PACs have spent about $50 million in donor money on his legal bills last year, sources told The New York Times.
The “staggering sum” spent by Trump on his legal fees and investigation-related expenses is about the same amount his lone remaining GOP primary opponent Nikki Haley raised across all her committees last year, the Times’ Maggie Haberman and Shane Goldmacher write. Federal Election Commission filings this week are expected to detail the full extent of Trump’s “enormous financial strain,” they added.
Trump, who has a penchant for relying on campaign donations to pay his lawyers if he actually pays them at all, has used his Save America PAC to cover his legal costs. When the PAC ran low on cash last year, Trump asked for an unusual refund of $60 million that had been transferred to the pro-Trump MAGA Inc. PAC. Trump has also been directing 10% of donations raised through Save America to a PAC that primarily pays his lawyers, according to the Times.

Good thing it’s not legal for cops to execute drug addicts in the street.
So was Rush Limbaugh, but what does drug addition have to do with anything we’re talking about?
These people always want to make it about something else other than the fact that they’re racist bigoted assholes.
And if you call then that, they get all defensive and “I was just trying to…” crap. It’s all in bad faith. They’ll just keto moving the goal posts until you give up.
Good thing being a drug addict isn’t illegal or something you can be killed by police on the streets for, right?
Because someone did something bad in their life we should always view them as nothing better than that.
okay.
Gotta wonder why the Minnesota PD never put a boot on Jordan Belfort’s neck.
