Quick Glance: Millions more spent on Trump legal fees as Biden and Democratic Party expand campaign funds lead
- Donald Trump’s leadership PAC spent as much money as it took in last month, with his legal bills remaining a top expense as the former president grappled both with the aftermath of losing a civil fraud case and prepared for the start of a historic criminal trial in a Manhattan court.
- Save America, the political action committee that has underwritten much of Trump’s legal expenses, spent nearly $3.7 million on legal-related expenses in March – nearly $3 out of every $4 it collected, according to a filing Saturday night with the Federal Election Commission.
- President Joe Biden alongside the Democratic National Committee increased their financial lead over Trump and the GOP in the past month.
- The financial boost for Kennedy, the vice presidential pick of Robert F. Kennedy Jr., represents a financial boon for his independent bid for the White House. His campaign received a $2 million donation from Nicole Shanahan in March and raised over $3 million more that same month, based on campaign filings.
