Trump's Co-Defendants Struggle with Legal Bills as Save America PAC Runs Dry
Co-defendants in the Georgia election subversion case, which alleges a criminal conspiracy to subvert the state's 2020 election results, are struggling with mounting legal bills. Some have turned to crowdfunding, while others have created political action committees or sought support from allies in Congress. Unlike previous cases, there is no sign that Donald Trump intends to cover the legal costs of his co-defendants in the Georgia case. Trump's political action committee has spent over $40 million on legal fees for him and his associates, but it remains unclear if the funds will extend to the Georgia defendants. The prospect of costly legal defense has prompted some defendants to find alternative ways to raise money, including crowdfunding and seeking support from other Republicans.
