Former President Donald Trump spent $10 million in donor funds on legal bills, files show.
The files, viewed by the New York Times, show that Trump used money raised through his Save America political action committee for a number of legal bills, from 2021 to 2022. The majority was spent before Trump announced he was entering the 2024 presidential race.

Now that the former president has declared his candidacy, there are more regulations put in place for how Trump can use donor funds, according to campaign finance experts.
“Payments by a PAC that exceed the contribution limit are contributions to the candidate and are unlawful,” Jason Torchinsky, a campaign finance expert and lawyer with the firm Holtzman Vogel, told the outlet.
Adav Noti, of the Campaign Legal Center, told the outlet that Trump's use of the funds is a legal "grey area."

Trump is involved in several high-profile legal disputes, including a fraud lawsuit from New York Attorney General Letitia James. His largest payment using donor funds was to Critton, Luttier, and Coleman, a Floridian law firm, where he paid $3 million.
The Department of Justice has subpoenaed several of the law firms employed by Trump in an effort to uncover what services they were specifically being paid for.
