"Trump's Campaign and PACs Spent Over $150M on Legal Costs in 2023-2024"

Former President Donald Trump's affiliated committees spent over $27 million on legal fees in the last six months of 2023, totaling almost $50 million for the year, as he faces multiple legal challenges. Despite the financial burden, Trump has used his legal cases as a fundraising tool, with his campaign claiming a record single-day haul after his booking in a Georgia election case. The expenses have drawn criticism from his Republican rival Nikki Haley, who argues that Trump's focus on court cases and chaos could hinder his ability to defeat Joe Biden in the upcoming election.
