Media reports suggest a fundraising alliance between the Republican National Committee (RNC) and a group that has poured millions into Donald Trump‘s legal expenses. Trump, having secured the Republican presidential nomination, can now rally donations with the RNC for the November election battle against Joe Biden.
However, Trump’s financial landscape is fraught with legal judgments and reluctant donors, fearing their contributions might solely fund legal battles.
The Trump 47 Committee, focusing on legal fees, channels donations to the Save America leadership group before redirecting them to the RNC, as indicated in an invitation to an April fundraiser.
This maneuver could replenish the fund, which has already exhausted over $55 million in legal expenses since 2023, though Save America’s cap of $5,000 per individual donation could limit the influx.
Top donors are reportedly solicited to contribute a total of up to $814,600, with the RNC receiving around $413,000 after Save America’s share.
While Trump campaign spokesperson Steven Cheung downplays the allocation to Save America, emphasizing that most funds go to Trump’s campaign, RNC, and state GOP parties, financial disclosures reveal Save America’s increased spending on legal matters.
Financial challenges persist as Save America retrieves a $5 million refund, largely sourced from small donors, previously transferred to the primary pro-Trump super PAC, MAGA Inc.
This action, coupled with difficulties in securing a bond to cover a $454 million judgment in New York, underscores Trump’s precarious financial position.
The partnership with the RNC presents a strategic move to mitigate financial strains, yet uncertainties loom over the sustainability of funding sources amidst legal battles and donor apprehensions.
