Trump's PAC Seeks Refund as Legal Bills Soar

Former President Donald Trump is calling on congressional Republicans to withhold military support for Ukraine until the Biden administration cooperates with investigations into President Joe Biden and his son Hunter Biden's business dealings. Trump's legal bills are piling up, with his Save America super PAC expected to disclose spending $40.2 million this year on legal expenses. Prosecutors are questioning who is paying for the lawyers of potential witnesses associated with Trump, and Trump advisers say the PAC is covering the legal bills for anyone involved in the investigations who requests help. The hefty legal costs have led the PAC to request a refund on a $60 million contribution it made to another group supporting Trump, potentially signaling a money crisis for the former president. Meanwhile, Ron DeSantis' presidential campaign criticizes Trump for spending money attacking DeSantis and paying his own legal fees instead of focusing on defeating Joe Biden.
