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.
I have a problem if I owe the bank a thousand dollars. The bank has a problem if I owe them a million dollars.
It needs to be a lot more than ‘just’ a million to make a bank really sweat and act abnormal; at that level you’re just a criminal they pursue.
