As Donald Trump confronts serious legal challenges, the former president can take some solace in the fact that his indictments haven’t undermined his support from Republican voters. On the contrary, he seems to have benefited politically from being charged with many felonies, and he now appears to be the prohibitive frontrunner for the GOP’s 2024 presidential nomination.
But for Trump and his team, that’s the good news. The bad news is that his legal troubles are costing a fortune. The New York Times reported:
Former President Donald J. Trump’s political action committee, which began last year with $105 million, now has less than $4 million left in its account after paying tens of millions of dollars in legal fees for Mr. Trump and his associates.
To appreciate the scope of the financial difficulties, consider the apparent fact that different parts of Trump’s operation are starting to move money around in unexpected ways. The former president’s Save America PAC, for example, already directed funds to an allied super PAC, Make America Great Again Inc., with the expectation that the money would go toward primary-season advertising.
Instead, the PAC has asked the super PAC to give $60 million back, in order to ease the once-flush Save America operation’s financial strains.
