Former President Donald Trump’s political action committee, Save America, paid nearly $1 million to civil and criminal defense attorneys in July alone as investigations into him and the Trump Organization heated up, a new Federal Elections Commission filing by the PAC reveals.
And Trump’s legal bills could rise even more this month and into the future on the heels of an FBI raid of his residence at the Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida, as part of a criminal investigation into his removal of presidential documents from the White House when he left office in January 2021.
Trump also faces a criminal probe in Georgia, where a special grand jury is obtaining testimony and evidence related to efforts by him and his allies to overturn that state’s 2020 election win by President Joe Biden. Trump’s Save America political action committee has become the former president’s leading PAC, keeping White House veterans such as Dan Scavino and Lynne Patton on the payroll.
Save America, which has more than $99 million on hand according to the FEC filing, has been asking donors for money it says will be used to defend conservative values and battle Biden. That money is also being used to pay Trump’s legal bills, which is allowed under the lenient rules governing the use of PAC funds.

There was a reason. It would have meant the grift was over.
