Trump's new $3 million criminal defense attorney paid for by his Save America PAC/his supporters.
Isn't it illegal to use the money raised for his political campaign for his own personal use? Is this yet another example of a crime for which he can be justly indicted?New reporting shows that Donald Trump has had a very hard time finding any decent lawyer to represent him because, among other reasons, he refuses to pay his legal bills. Well now, per the Wall Street Journal, "New Trump Attorney Negotiated $3 million Advance Payment for Work."
This astronomical retainer fee is especially offensive given that it was paid by Donald Trump's Save America PAC (political action committee). In a very real sense, Donald Trump's supporters, hundreds of whom are being prosecuted for following his commands to march to the US Capitol on January 6 to stop the certification of Joe Biden's win, or, as Trump put it, "stop the steal," are paying for Trump's attorney. These people likely can not afford the kind of high-priced defense attorney that is being hired by Trump with the donations from his supporters.
