Trump PAC Spent $230K/Day On Legal Fees In February

The Daily Beast reports:

On Wednesday night, Trump’s “Save America” leadership PAC—the political committee that now functions primarily as his legal slush fund—reported paying lawyers $5.6 million last month, according to Federal Election Commission filings. That’s well above the $5 million total the PAC raised in the same period.

The PAC also deferred payment on more than half a million dollars in additional fees to Alina Habba, who represented Trump in both of his milestone court losses in New York this year, while racking up a $645,000 bill to a company tasked with managing legal records in his business fraud case.

Altogether, that’s more than $6.9 million in combined legal-related payments in February from Save America alone—or about $238,000 per day during the shorter month. It’s an enormous sum for a key Trump PAC that reported having just over $4 million in the bank at the end of the month.
