Trump fundraiser emails for legal challenges would also pay down campaign debt, fine print says

In the Trump campaign's latest push to raise money for its "election defense" fund, at least half of any donation could go toward paying down debt for the president's campaign, according to the fine print.

The Trump campaign has mounted legal challenges in several battleground states that show Democratic challenger Joe Biden ahead as votes continue to be tallied in the tightly contested presidential race, including Michigan, Pennsylvania and Georgia.

Over the last four days, the Trump campaign as well as the Republican National Committee have sent a flurry of text messages and emails urging supporters to contribute to the president's court challenges.

"President Trump is FIGHTING BACK to defend the integrity of this Election, but he can't do it alone," one email reads. "He needs YOU to step up and join him by contributing to our critical Election Defense Fund."

1. And what doesn't pay down his campaign debt.

Will go to a variety of RNC "funds" outlined in the fine print (if a donor has reached the maximum allowable campaign contribution threshold). Another con, like all the other cons. The man is good at one thing -- grifting (which is why the Rethugs love him so damned much).

2. Money laundering. At least he has a skill to fall back on

3. True. If he has any left. Deutsche Bank ready to call in debt.

Bet he sells trump tower for that. And hoping attorneys will actually charge him for all the legal defense work up ahead.
