The political action committee that has been paying former President Donald J. Trump’s legal fees requested a refund on a $60 million contribution it made to the super PAC supporting the Republican front-runner, according to two people familiar with the matter.
The decision of Mr. Trump’s political team to ask for a refund of money that was meant to help his 2024 campaign, and was instead diverted to an account paying his legal bills, is extraordinary. It reflects the choice to spend precious donor cash on lawyers rather than on television advertising in the early months.
It is unclear how much money was refunded.
But the refund was sought as the political action committee, Save America, spent more than $40 million in legal fees incurred by Mr. Trump and witnesses in various legal cases related to him this year alone, according to another person familiar with the matter.
The numbers will be part of the Save America Federal Election Commission filing that is expected to be made public late on Monday.
That $40 million was in addition to $16 million that Save America spent in the previous two years on legal fees. Since then, Mr. Trump has been indicted twice and has expanded the size of his legal team, and his two co-defendants in the case related to his retention of classified material work for him. The total legal spending is roughly $56 million.
The PAC was the entity in which Mr. Trump had parked the more than $100 million raised when he sought donations after losing the 2020 election. Mr. Trump claimed he needed the support to fight widespread fraud in the race. Officials, including some with his campaign, turned up no evidence of widespread fraud.

DNYUZ is a paywall workaround site. You can find the original article posted on numerous paywalled news sites. By all means, pay to read the article which I gave to you for free.
If you believe the legal issues are anything other than 100% pure political persecution you have not been paying any attention.
We have to get through the legal thicket in order to run a successful campaign. Of course this is a completely legitimate use of my contributions.
Well driving him out of the race either by jailing him or breaking him financially is the whole point isnt it?
Feel like sending a contribution and earmark it for his legal fees right now.
Don’t know what you mean by ‘true believer’ though. Does that mean someone who hates corrupt lardassed authoritarians? If so sign me up.

First, they denied it was happening, now they are all singing that it is in fact happening and it's a stroke of Trump's bravery and marketing genius.

DNyuz lacks transparency and does not disclose that Hayk Karapetyan is the owner. Revenue is derived through advertising. After the Buzzfeed report, Google Adsense dropped DNyuz, and they have moved to other third-party advertisers such as Infolinks.
Y’all know that campaign funds going to legal fees is going to be the next round of indictments right?
It’s never going to end.

Exactly.
President Trump has united the world’s most evil players in their desperation to lock in the power so blatantly stolen from We The People in 2020.
The lawyers fighting for our stolen President, are fighting for US.
The people fighting against our stolen President are failing to persuade “We The People” that Donald J. Trump is the Antichrist, or possibly worse in their minds, a Deplorably Mean Tweeter, in spite of their endless failed attempts to make something, anything, stop what is coming for them.
We’re sending him back. With the receipts this time, to finish what we elected him to do the first and second times.
With our Thankful Prayers for him, his family, our Nation, and the world.

Meanwhile, how many 1/6 supporters of Trump are still in prison tonight going on 3 years now, they are regular people who can’t afford lawyers or have been financially ruined by this whole charade.
No one is sending them any cash to help out in their legal defense. Most people except for their families have forgotten they even exist.
Democrats grift off the government. Republicans grift off their voters.
I was going to say, a simple google search will show you the story of Trump’s Legal Fees being paid for by people donating to his campaign is all over the place, basically every news outlet has the same basic story.
Thanks for the snark, Pal.
