As @ShaneGoldmacher and I reported recently, Trump quietly started steering ten times as much money from each contribution to his political run to the PAC earlier this year as bills began mounting https://t.co/Gp8P13S0FE

"Dollar dollar bills, y'all!"

NEW: Trump and his associates' legal bills that are being covered by his political-action committee, which raised tens of millions shortly after the 2020 election, are so high that it sought a refund on $60 mill it gave the super PAC @ShaneGoldmacher https://t.co/XqUi9Vc856

Tonight, Trump, whose political action committee had to ask for money back from the super PAC that exists primarily to spend on TV ads in support of Trump because the PAC is paying his legal bills, insists he'll put his own money into campaign if necessary.

Interesting he won’t pay his own legal fees. And I love the idea lawyers should work for him for the publicity. I wonder if OJ ever thought of that? And he’s not calling it a legal fund because: a) he’s not a “loser,” and b) who would contribute then?

And he’s spent $40 million on two indictments. What happens when the tsunami hits (4 indictments at once) and the trials (where the billable hours really kick in) come? There are two trials in 2024 alone, and the federal case just got more expensive.
