For the year 2023 alone, $50 million in Trump's legal fees were paid by his PACs, these political action committees. PACs are these gigantic political structures responsible for collecting campaign donations in the United States.
To fill their coffers, Trump can count on the infallible adoration of his supporters. After his defeat in 2020, his challenge to the results allowed him to raise millions of dollars and last year donations literally exploded after each of his indictments. In total, 105 million were raised. “ It’s a scam for Mami Trumpists who are financing the legal costs of a billionaire,” quipped one of his former rivals.
