Read our privacy policy Former President Donald Trump is diverting more donations from political supporters to fund his mounting legal costs as multiple court cases put an increased strain on his resources. Disclosure text on the Trump presidential campaign’s WinRed digital fundraising platform now specifies that 10 per cent of political contributions will go to his legal battles via the Save America PAC. The cost of Mr Trump’s court battles can be seen in Save America PAC’s legal expenditures, which according to the Federal Election Commission, have ballooned from $1.9million to $14.6m in 2022. A Trump campaign spokesman declined to comment to the Times on the former president’s legal bills or whether his supporters understood where their donations were going.
