TRUMP CHEATS Donators - Using Their Campaign Funds To Pay HIS Legal Bills
TRUMP Using Campaign Funds on Legal Bills SURGES Into Spotlight
TRUMP Campaign Tricked Donors Into Recurring Contributions TRUMPS’ Save America PAC has spent more than $21 million on legal fees in 6 months in 2023 alone — doling out payments to more than 40 different law firms. Since then his legal fees has rocketed MSN 25 FEB 2024 PAC attorney Joe Birkenstock discusses whether it’s acceptable for Trump's PAC to spend money on legal expenses and whether he has an obligation to disclose how the funds are going to be used when soliciting donations. CAN LEADERSHIP PACS BE USED TO PAY LEGAL FEES? Generally, politicians cannot spend campaign money on legal expenses unless they are tied to a campaign, but many of the investigations involving Trump relate to his conduct as president and as a political candidate. However, leadership PACs such as Save America also are not allowed to directly support their own candidate's campaign. Richard Briffault, a professor at Columbia Law School and an expert on campaign finance issues who has supported Democratic candidates, said that because Trump is fighting criminal charges during a presidential campaign, it is possible that covering legal fees could be considered a benefit to his campaign. Campaign finance experts said the question was unsettled, though Trump's team would most likely argue his criminal defense is separate from his campaign. |
