A PAC controlled by former President Donald Trump that has devoted tens of millions of dollars to his and his allies’ legal bills could be running out of cash after spending nearly $3.7 million on legal fees in March.

Save America, Trump’s leadership PAC, has now spent $59.5 million on legal consulting since the start of 2023. It also incurred $886,000 in new legal debt in March, according to a report filed with the Federal Election Commission late Saturday. More than $1.1 million of its March spending went toward two firms representing Trump in his New York criminal hush money trial.

The total spent on legal expenses for Save America was almost as much as Trump’s campaign committee in the month of March, highlighting how legal troubles have sucked up the cash of his political operation. Trump’s official campaign committee spent just over $3.7 million in March, with travel expenses, followed by payroll, occupying its biggest expenditure categories.

      I was amazed that Trump’s Truth Media tanked as badly as it did. I figured some mysterious figures would be happy to inject a few billions into his coffers.

      I want China to bail them out… I really want to watch their flock of morons try to reconcile “china good” with the last 10 years of rhetoric.

        What about the last 10 years would make you think that logic will be an effective way to expose their hypocrisy?
