Trump’s most recent campaign finance filings reveal a sharp and dramatic drop in legal expenses. It’s not because he’s involved in any fewer legal battles, however. It’s because he got someone else to start picking up the tab.
Donald Trump has earned a reputation as perhaps the most litigious American politician in living memory. But, while that defining characteristicsince he left office a year ago, Trump’s most recent campaign finance filings reveal a sharp and dramatic drop in legal expenses.
Or, in the words of an RNC spokesperson, “certain legal expenses that related to politically motivated legal proceedings waged against [ex-]President Trump.” Of course, in the light of the previous $8 million splurge, Trump’s most recent $2.3 million six-month total may seem reasonable—even more so when stacked against the $7.2 million in legal costs the ex-president’s donors shelled out to bankroll the eight-week pseudo-litigation blitz between Election Day and the end of 2020. During that period, Trump spent an astounding $125,000 a day.
