"Trump's Fundraising Tactics: Prioritizing Legal Bills Over RNC Donations"

Former President Donald Trump is enlisting the support of wealthy allies, including investor John Paulson and Republican megadonor Rebekah Mercer, to raise funds for his potential 2024 presidential campaign and a political action committee paying his legal bills. A fundraising dinner hosted by Paulson is expected to raise at least $40 million, with ticket prices ranging from $250,000 to $814,600 per person. Trump faces financial challenges in fundraising and legal battles, with his political action committee spending millions on legal fees. The support from major Republican fundraisers comes as Trump seeks to secure financial backing for his political ambitions.
