Are the Breitbart solicitation emails supposedly for President Trump's defense fund legit?

Twice now, I have received this email from Breitbart:

link to message

I have not sent anything, though I dearly want to help our president fight this fraud on the entire American people. I can't attend the big Washington DC rally this Saturday, although I'll be there in spirit. I can't call my Congresscritters, as they are long time machine Dims. I don't think sitting here fuming at the commie takeover of our country's voting by stealth and thievery will be helpful, but it feels good.

I went to donaldjtrump.com to donate to his legal defense fund.

Looks like most of the money doesn’t go towards the stated cause. Bait and switch. Directly from your link:

---

60% of each contribution first to Save America, up to $5,000/$5,000, then to DJTP’s Recount Account, up to a maximum of $2,800/$5,000.

40% of each contribution to the RNC’s Operating account, up to a maximum of $35,500/$15,000.

Any additional funds will go to the RNC for deposit in the RNC’s Legal Proceedings account or Headquarters account, up to a maximum of $213,000/$90,000.

odd looks like the dono page directly from Donald j Trump official website splits your donations the same way.

It says you can specify to have all your donation go towards the election fight, I would do that

I wouldn’t give a penny to anything that’s not very specifically earmarked for a narrowly targeted use. That goes for any giving to any cause.

Most often the money goes into slush funds for misc hangers-on to drain, they all belly up to the trough at feeding time.

WRKO's Jeff Kuhner said on his morning show that you can send contributions to Trump directly, which will 100% go to his legal defense fund. He gave the address but I did not catch the entire address.

If anyone from Mass. caught the full address PLEASE post it here.

This is all I caught/wrote down from Kuhner's radio show:

Donald J. Trump Inc

75 (?)_______(??) Ave

NY, NY 10022

Maybe try here?

https://secure.donaldjtrump.com/donate/

It appears mail address matches what you heard:

Mail: To contribute by mail, please send a personal check made payable to the “Donald J. Trump for President, Inc.” to:

Donald J. Trump President, Inc
C/O Trump Tower
725 5th Avenue
New York, NY 10022

The fine print seems to say it goes to various Trump funds -- pay off campaign debt and pay for recount effort. (”Donations to DJTFP’s Recount Account will be used solely in connection with any post-election recounts and election contests and not for the purpose of influencing any federal election.”)

I had been wanting to donate ... this seems like the place.
