"Trump's Legal Woes Drain Donors' Funds"

Former President Donald Trump's political operation is burning through money as his legal troubles mount, with his leadership PAC, Save America, spending over 70% of its total disbursements in the first six months of the year on legal bills. Trump's joint fundraising committee raised over $53 million during this period, but the committees associated with his 2024 White House bid have spent even more. The financial toll of multiple investigations has led to Save America requesting that an aligned super PAC return $60 million to cover legal expenses. Trump's legal defense fund has also been launched to cover the bills of his current and former aides. Despite the financial crunch, Trump has suggested he may put his own money into his 2024 campaign.
