TL;DR Summary

Mary Trump, the estranged niece of former President Donald Trump, claims that his use of paid witnesses in his New York civil fraud case has backfired "spectacularly." Reports suggest that Trump used funds from his Save America PAC to pay 19 witnesses a total of $2.5 million. The civil fraud case, which alleges that Trump and members of the Trump Organization exaggerated the value of assets, has already been ruled as involving fraud. Mary Trump suggests that her uncle could be "broke" following the case and speculates that the Federal Election Commission may investigate the payments made from the Save America PAC.
