Trump Diverts $4.3 Million in Donor Funds to Legal Fees
In the weeks after the November election, Donald Trump’s “Save America” PAC disbursed another $4.3 million to lawyers representing him in various legal battles, totaling $90.8 million in legal fees. This followed the renaming and restructuring of his 2024 campaign account into “Never Surrender,” a leadership PAC allowing flexible spending. A new fundraising split directs 80% of donations to the RNC, leaving only 20% for Never Surrender, a shift from the initial 80/20 split favoring Trump’s committee. The rationale for this change remains unclear, although speculation suggests potential RNC payment of Trump’s legal bills.
