Well, there's a first time for everything! SO UNEXPECTED! Trump stiffs his "army of lawyers" who are waiting to be paid [View all]
More than a few members of the army of lawyers Donald Trump has deployed to sue his enemies and keep him out of courtrooms due to lawsuits are waiting hat in hand to be paid with the Save America PAC the president used to pay them now wallowing in red ink.
According to MS NOW's Hayes Brown, Trump's fundraising machinery has hit a wall now that he's no longer actively running for office. "
According to recent Federal Election Commission filings, the funding stream Trump has been using to pay out millions to law firms is running "very, very low on cash," Hayes is reporting.
The numbers tell a story of financial collapse, the report notes. Save America PAC has only $1.19 million in cash on hand while owing $1.6 million in unpaid legal bills. That debt exists even after the committee has already spent nearly $2.3 million on legal fees so far this year. Make America Great Again PAC is in even worse shape: only $28,087 in cash against $763,000 in debts.
Trump's legal bills have been astronomical. Between the two PACs, Trump funneled $50 million toward his legal fees over the course of 2023 alone. Rather than paying from his own pocket, billionaire Trump has instead diverted MAGA fans' cash into his political committees to cover his mounting legal costs.
