Trump probably used donor's money to refurbish Trump Force one too?!!

Donald Trump spent $10 million of his political action committee’s money to pay for his personal legal bills in 2022, The New York Times reported on Tuesday.

The Times notes Trump’s Save America PAC spent $16 total on legal payments, and that although some of that money went to lawyers representing Trump allies, the majority of it went to lawyers representing Trump himself as the former president has fought a variety of investigations. The $10 million figure represents nearly 20 percent of the PAC’s total expenditures.

It’s unclear how Trump’s 2024 presidential candidacy will impact his ability to use political donations to handle his personal legal needs. The Federal Election Commission prohibits declared candidates from using campaign funds for personal use, but Adav Noti of the Campaign Legal Center told the Times that the FEC doesn’t always enforce its rules, and that there’s a “gray area” regarding what is allowed.

Trump has needed as much cash as he can get to pay lawyers representing him as he’s tried to ward off investigations into fraud within the Trump Organization (by the state of New York), whether he meddled in Georgia’s 2020 presidential election (by the Fulton County DA’s office), his handling of classified documents after leaving the White House (the federal government), his potential role in overturning the 2020 election and fomenting an insurrection at the Capitol (the federal government again).

Well, that’s what happens when you commit crimes, the legal system investigates you, then if enough evidence indicts you.

What’s the matter with you, don’t you know Trump is above the law

He wasn’t kidding when he said he could shoot someone on 5th Avenue in broad daylight and not lose voters

If you had one ounce of intelligence you would be cheering this move because it depletes his campaign fund. We're you upset with the Clintons making their $2 billion dollar "foundation" melt?
