"Trump's Fundraising Frenzy: Closing the Money Gap with Biden"

Donald Trump is aggressively working to close the fundraising gap with President Biden, meeting with big-money donors and planning a $50 million gala in Palm Beach. Despite raising $65.6 million in March, Trump's fundraising efforts still lag behind Biden's, who brought in over $90 million. Trump's legal troubles are straining his political committees, with significant funds going towards legal bills. The joint fundraising committee for Trump aims to quickly raise enough to compete with Biden's well-funded campaign, as Trump allies hope to capitalize on perceived weaknesses in Biden's candidacy and the current political environment.

"Trump's Bible Sales and Legal Woes: A Closer Look"

Former President Donald Trump is selling the "God Bless the USA Bible" for $59.99, urging supporters to "Make America Pray Again" as he faces mounting legal bills. The Bible, featuring a King James Version and patriotic content, is the latest in a series of commercial ventures pursued by Trump, including branded sneakers and NFTs. Despite his popularity with white evangelical Christians, Trump's history and behavior have often clashed with Christian teachings, and his latest venture is not without controversy.

"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.

"Trump's Media Merger Approval: Impact on Truth Social and Financial Outlook"

Former President Donald Trump's social media company, Trump Media & Technology Group, has merged with Digital World Acquisition Corp, making it a public company with a market value of around $5 billion. This merger is expected to increase Trump's wealth by $3 billion, potentially providing a cash lifeline to cover his mounting legal bills, including a $454 million penalty in a civil fraud case in New York. However, restrictions in the merger agreement may prevent him from quickly turning his paper gains into cash, but his control over Trump Media and potential support from allies on the board could provide avenues to raise funds.

"Trump Diverts RNC Donations to Cover Legal Bills Amid Denials"

Former President Donald Trump's new fundraising agreement with the Republican National Committee diverts a portion of donations to a PAC that pays his legal bills before any money gets to the party, despite previous denials. The agreement comes as Save America PAC is burning an average of $5 million a month in legal payments for Trump and his allies, and Trump is also directing 10% of every dollar his campaign raises to his PAC, up from 1% earlier in his campaign.

"Family Feud: Michael Jackson's Estate Dispute Unraveled"

Michael Jackson's estate claims that his mother, Katherine Jackson, has received over $55 million since his death, including a monthly allowance of $160,000 and a $15 million luxury home. The estate's executors are in a legal dispute with Katherine over her opposition to a business transaction, believed to be the estate's $600 million catalog deal with Sony.

"Michael Jackson's Estate Dispute: Son Bigi Takes Grandmother to Court Over $600M Catalog Deal"

Michael Jackson's estate claims that his mother, Katherine Jackson, has received over $55 million since his death, including a $160,000 monthly allowance and a $15 million luxury home. The estate is in a legal dispute with Katherine over her opposition to a business transaction, believed to be a $600 million catalog deal with Sony. The estate argues that it has generously provided for Katherine's care and maintenance, and should not have to pay for her recent legal bills, which stem from her efforts to block the deal.

"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.

"Trump Fundraising Committee Prioritizes Legal Bills Over RNC Payments"

The newly formed "Trump 47" joint fundraising committee will direct a portion of donations to the Save America PAC, which is used to cover former President Donald Trump's legal bills, a departure from typical campaign donation trajectories. The move means that only a fraction of major donors’ contributions would go toward legal bills, while a higher percentage of small-contribution donors’ money would be funneled to the RNC. Trump faces criminal indictments and civil legal issues, including a $464 million fraud judgment and an $83 million defamation damages order, with difficulties in raising funds to post a bond for the civil fraud penalty against him.

"Trump's Financial Struggles Put Him at Disadvantage Against Biden: Analysis"

Financial filings show that former President Donald Trump and the Republican National Committee are facing a significant financial disadvantage compared to President Joe Biden and the Democratic Party, with Biden having a much larger war chest. Trump's legal bills have eaten into his allies' cash flow, and his fundraising efforts are ramping up as he becomes the presumptive 2024 presidential nominee. New joint fundraising committees with the GOP are being set up, with a focus on funneling money into a political action committee that has been paying a significant portion of Trump's ongoing legal bills.

"RNC Prioritizes Trump's Legal Bills Over Party Funds, Biden Campaign Amasses $155M for 2024"

Former President Donald Trump's new fundraising agreement with the Republican National Committee prioritizes directing a portion of donations to his Save America PAC, which has been used to pay his legal bills, before any money goes to the party itself. The agreement, revealed in the fine print of an invitation to a big dinner next month in Palm Beach, Florida, shows that the first $6,600 donated will go to Trump's campaign, followed by $5,000 to his Save America PAC, and then the R.N.C. will receive the next $413,000. This comes as Save America PAC is on course to run low on funds, having paid more than $50 million in legal and investigation-related bills for Trump in 2023.

"Trump's Potential $3.5 Billion Windfall and Legal Hurdles in Media Merger"

Former President Donald Trump's social media company is set to go public, potentially increasing his net worth by $3 billion, which he could use to cover his mounting legal bills.

"Trump's Fundraising Focus Shifts to Major Donors and Billionaire Backers"

Donald Trump's new joint fundraising agreement with the Republican National Committee prioritizes directing donations to his campaign and a political action committee that pays his legal bills before the RNC gets a cut, raising concerns among some Republicans. The unorthodox diversion of funds to the Save America PAC makes it more likely that Republican donors could see their money go to Trump’s lawyers, with the group devoting 84% of its spending to Trump’s legal costs. Trump's handpicked leadership team for the RNC includes his daughter-in-law Lara Trump and Chris LaCivita, who serves as one of two campaign managers for the Trump campaign and is now also taking on a chief of staff role at the RNC. Trump's political operation is struggling to catch up to Biden on fundraising and organization, with his main campaign account and the Save America PAC reporting a combined $15.9 million raised in February, while Biden's political operation raised $53 million.

"Michael Jackson's Son Opposes Estate Payment for Grandmother's Legal Bills in $600M Catalog Dispute"

Michael Jackson's son, Blanket Jackson, is asking a Los Angeles judge to prevent his grandmother, Katherine Jackson, from using funds from the singer's estate to finance her ongoing legal battles against the estate's executors over a recent $600 million deal with Sony. Blanket argues that it would be unfair for the estate to pay for Katherine's pending appeal, as he and his siblings have accepted the court's ruling allowing the deal to proceed, while Katherine continues to fight it. He suggests that the estate should cover her legal bills for her initial opposition to the deal but questions the amount requested and opposes funding for the ongoing appeal.

"Trump's Struggle for Cash: Legal Bills, Fundraising, and GOP Support"

Donald Trump's "Save America" PAC spent $5.6 million on legal fees in February, averaging about $238,000 per day, while also deferring payment on additional fees and making a $150,000 charitable contribution. The filings reveal the extent to which Trump's donor resources are being diverted to his legal fights at a time when he needs to rapidly scale up a national campaign effort, while Biden's campaign continues to have an enormous cash advantage.
