"Trump's Legal Expenses: A $55 Million Drain on Donor Funds"
Former President Donald Trump spent over $55 million in donor money on legal fees in 2023, diverting significant sums to his mounting legal expenses as he faces multiple lawsuits and 91 felony charges. Trump's committees, Save America leadership PAC and the Make America Great Again PAC, spent $55.6 million on legal bills in 2023, with most of the funds raised from small-dollar donors. Meanwhile, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis's fundraising declined, while former U.N. ambassador Nikki Haley received major donations from deep-pocketed GOP donors. President Biden's campaign ended the year with a cash advantage over Trump's, with the Biden-Harris campaign and DNC having a combined war chest of $117 million.
