And? Isn’t that what campaign funds are for, campaigning? If Trump paid some group or other similarly, would you post that article? Meanwhile, Trump is using his leadership PAC money to pay his legal fees. The problem is that a candidate’s leadership PAC money can only be used for other candidates, not for himself or for his own campaign. Save America wants it’s 60 million back.

If anyone wants to directly help Pres. Trump with his legal fees, Patriot Legal Defense Fund, Inc. ( http://patriotlegaldefensefund.com/ ) is specifically and legally set up for that. Let’s keep him out of FEC trouble if we can. Of course, vet the organization to make sure it’s a good one.

That story keeps being posted and mis-represented here

Save America largely raised money from small donors before Trump entered the 2024 presidential race and the group is formally separate from his election campaign.
But it has been a principal funder of a super PAC known as MAGA Inc, which has spent heavily on ads supporting Trump. Save America transferred some $60 million to the group in 2022, but on Monday it reported to election regulators that it got refunds of more than $12 million from MAGA Inc.

Save America gave the money to a pac that spent it on advertisement.

And the Patriot Legal Defense Fund for Donald Trump doesn't appear to be set up yet, as it has been redirecting to the DonaldJTrump.com contribute page.

Thank you for the information and checking that out. I hadn’t gotten that far yet. Breakfast was due.
