In recent filings with the Federal Election Commission (FEC), it was revealed that Donald Trump’s Save America leadership PAC expended nearly $3 million on legal consulting in January as he continues his presidential campaign amidst various legal challenges. The PAC, a key part of Trump’s fundraising efforts, directed its largest single payment of over $500,000 to the law firm of John Lauro, who is representing Trump in a federal case related to charges of attempting to overturn the 2020 election results.
Furthermore, Save America is reported to have an additional $1.9 million in outstanding legal obligations. This financial pressure is part of an ongoing trend, with Trump’s campaign machinery having spent around $50 million on legal defenses throughout the previous year, amidst facing 91 criminal charges across four indictments, in addition to civil lawsuits.
Despite these legal financial burdens, Trump’s campaign has maintained a strong fundraising performance. In January alone, his campaign reported nearly $9 million in revenue, concluding the month with $30 million available. This contrasts with his Republican and Democratic competitors, where Nikki Haley ended January with $13 million after raising over $11 million, and President Biden’s campaign, in combination with the DNC, ended with approximately $130 million after a $15 million January fundraising effort.
