Donald Trump may have his post-2020 election donation money frozen as Special Counsel Jack Smith continues to scrutinize the former president's fundraising efforts, according to an attorney.
Former FBI general counsel Andrew Weissmann was reacting to reports that Smith's office were still questioning people in connection to the money raised by Trump's Save America political action committee after he lost the last presidential election.
On Monday, Smith's office interviewed Bernard Kerik, a former New York City police commissioner and longtime associate of former Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani, about the Save America PAC fundraising efforts, reported Politico. The interview arrived amid longrunning suggestions that federal prosecutors have been probing how the money raised by Save America was spent, and if the money was raised under false pretenses.
Speaking to MSNBC on Thursday, Weissmann said that if Trump's fundraising finances do become a part of Smith's federal probe, then it could lead to "pretrial forfeiture" which would result in the money being frozen and unable to be accessed. This could cause a particular problem for the former president, as tens of millions of dollars given to his PAC were reportedly spent on his and other Trump-linked defendants' legal fees this year, Weissmann said.
