Trump's Legal Defense Fund: A $40 Million Transformation

Former President Donald Trump's campaign is increasingly being seen as a means to fund his legal defense and fight criminal charges, with his leadership PAC having spent over $40 million on attorneys' fees for himself and associates. While some Republican rivals are hesitant to openly criticize Trump's legal troubles, others are becoming more vocal. Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie accused Trump of using campaign contributions to pay his legal fees, while former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley warned of the dangers of the classified documents case but hinted at a potential pardon if she were to win the White House. Trump's legal struggles continue to dominate the Republican race, despite no rival Republican showing signs of narrowing his lead in national primary polls.
