"Trump's Fundraising Committee Prioritizes Legal Bill Payments Over RNC Donations"
A joint fundraising committee, the Trump 47 Committee, has been established to help former President Donald Trump raise money for his legal bills through the Save America PAC, as revealed in new Federal Election Commission filings. The committee can raise up to $814,600 from donors, with funds allocated to Trump's campaign, Save America, the RNC, and state committees. Trump has faced a cash crunch, spending more than it took in, and has been indicted in four cases, denying wrongdoing in each. The joint fundraising agreement has raised concerns about donors' contributions being directed to Trump's legal bills, but a top adviser has stated that the committee will not pay any of Trump's legal expenses.
