Trump doesn’t care. It is not his money although the lawyers involved are his friends and donors. Some are his associates also. Nice way to reward friends even when he is in a dumpster..

Trump raises big money in early 2021, but doesn't spend muchTrump, a Republican, established the Save America committee in November shortly after losing the presidential election to Democrat Joe Biden. Under Federal Election Commission (FEC) rules, the committee has broad leeway in how it can use its money. A filing with the FEC showed Save America made a $1 million contribution in June to the America First Policy Institute, a nonprofit run by veterans of his administration. Poor and middle class people donating directly into the pockets of a millionaire. Priceless… It’s being saved for his legal defense fund and his bank loans. Those little $10 & $25 contributions are being scammed from the loser supporters.
