"Trump's Leadership PAC Faces Financial Strain as Legal Bills Soar"
Donald Trump's Save America leadership PAC spent more on legal expenses than it raised last month, with nearly $5.6 million spent on legal bills in February, exceeding its total receipts. The PAC received a $5 million refund from a Trump-aligned super PAC, diverting resources from supporting Trump's presidential bid to paying legal bills. Trump faces 88 criminal charges in four jurisdictions and is scrambling to secure a half-a-billion-dollar bond ahead of a deadline to appeal his civil fraud case in New York. Despite owing about $530,000 to a law firm, Save America ended February with about $4 million remaining in the bank, and a joint fundraising committee with the Republican National Committee and state parties may help replenish its coffers.
