Contrary to previous statements made by Republican National Committee Chair Michael Whatley and co-chair Lara Trump, it has been revealed in an Associated Press report that the organization will indeed be covering a portion of Donald Trump’s legal expenses.
In a strategic move, the campaign of the former president, who happens to be the father-in-law of Lara Trump, has reached a notable agreement with the RNC.
This agreement will ensure that donations are directed towards his campaign and his Save America political action committee, which has been instrumental in covering Trump’s legal expenses.
According to reports, Trump’s campaign spent a staggering $50 million of donor funds solely on his legal expenses last year.
In the first two months of 2024, a significant portion of Save America PAC’s operating expenses was allocated to legal spending, accounting for an impressive 85%.
In a recent inquiry about the RNC’s financial support for Trump’s legal team, a response was sought.
