Former President Donald Trump's legal fees have skyrocketed to a whopping $50 million in 2023, according to recent filings with the Federal Election Commission. This staggering sum is mainly being paid for by his political action committee (PAC), Save America, which relies on donations from supporters, particularly small-dollar donors. The influx of funds into Save America was seen after the 2020 election when Trump propagated unfounded claims of election fraud.
However, it is important to note that not all of the $50 million is solely for Donald Trump's legal expenses. Some of it is allocated for his co-defendants and other witnesses involved in his legal battles. These expenses are expected to continue to rise as Trump currently faces four criminal indictments, which could potentially go to trial later this year. If that happens, the cost for his legal defense will likely increase exponentially.
