Trump group spends big on legal fees; Biden leads at fundraising
Donald Trump’s political group, Save America, spent .6 million on lawyer fees in March, draining the finances supporting his White House bid. The group, largely funded by small donors, has clawed back million from a super PAC, reducing funds available for TV ads supporting Trump. Since the start of 2023, Save America has spent over million on lawyer fees for Trump’s four criminal trials. Trump is facing charges related to falsifying business records, mishandling classified documents, and a civil fraud judgment. Despite raising million in March, Trump’s campaign still lags behind Biden in fundraising, with Biden’s campaign ending the month with million in the bank compared to Trump’s million. Trump has been holding fundraising events to court big donors, helping the Republican Party raise over million in March.
