Defendants in Georgia Trump Case Turn to Crowdfunding for Legal Fees
TL;DR
Defendants in the Georgia election interference case against Donald Trump and his allies, including Rudolph Giuliani and Mark Meadows, are seeking donations to fund their legal defense. The case, which involves 18 defendants, could take months or even years to resolve. Some defendants have turned to fundraising campaigns, such as selling "MAGA honey" bottles shaped like Trump's head, while others have sought financial help through third-party groups. The amount of money raised may determine whether defendants choose to fight the charges or make plea deals. Trump himself has raised millions of dollars from small donors through his political action committee, Save America.
