NY Times: Trump PAC in money crunch after paying $40 million in legal fees this year

[Tomconroy]

"The political action committee that former President Donald J. Trump is using to pay his legal bills faced such staggering costs this year that it requested a refund on a $60 million contribution it made to another group supporting the Republican front-runner, according to two people familiar with the matter.

The decision signals a potential money crisis for Mr. Trump, who has so far refused to pay his own voluminous bills directly and has also avoided creating a legal-defense fund for himself and people who have become entangled in the various investigations related to him.

It comes as Mr. Trump runs a campaign while under indictment in two jurisdictions and, soon, potentially a third, while also paying the legal fees of a number of witnesses who are close to him or who work for him.

It is unclear how much money was refunded.

But the refund was sought as the political action committee, Save America, spent more than $40 million in legal fees incurred by Mr. Trump and witnesses in various legal cases related to him this year alone, according to another person familiar with the matter."

4. Somehow I got on this 'patriot-central' site and

it is all evil propaganda.

These right-wing people don't have a clue what is really going on with Trump. They are now thinking that he's not even King Cyrus any more, but the Christ himself.

5. They are helping us out. All the money going to Trump is not going to other GOP candidates.

But yes I know, sending money to a ruthless sociopath con artist.
WTF.
