Trump’s PAC Burned $230,000 a Day on Legal Bills in February
Even by the standards of Trump’s legal slush fund, February was a brutal month that underscored the historic financial pressure on his 2024 campaign.
In the month of February, Donald Trump finally neared the start of his general election campaign against Joe Biden—while burning through his political operation’s coffers for even more cash to support his legal defenses.
On Wednesday night, Trump’s “Save America” leadership PAC—the political committee that now functions primarily as his legal slush fund—reported paying lawyers $5.6 million last month, according to Federal Election Commission filings. That’s well above the $5 million total the PAC raised in the same period.
The PAC also deferred payment on more than half a million dollars in additional fees to Alina Habba, who represented Trump in both of his milestone court losses in New York this year, while racking up a $645,000 bill to a company tasked with managing legal records in his business fraud case.
You're viewing a single thread.
You know, in hindsight, you'd have to be an idiot to turn down being Trump's lawyer. Absolutely tons of money, and you'll have no moral worries when you decide to intentionally throw the case.
Better get a retainer and jump as soon as it's burned up.
