Former President Donald Trump's political action committee has spent $40.2 million on legal fees in this year's first half.
The Big Number: Former President Donald Trump’s political action committee has spent $40.2 million on legal fees in this year’s first half, according to multiple published reports citing unnamed sources.
What it means: The outlays show the sizable legal challenges that Trump and his associates have been dealing with. What people are saying: Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, an outspoken Trump critic who is seeking the 2024 GOP presidential nomination, criticized their race’s frontrunner for not using his own money for the legal expenses that he and his associates are incurring.
But Trump campaign spokesman Steven Cheung told CNN that the spending is needed, saying that “to protect these innocent people from financial ruin and prevent their lives from being completely destroyed, the leadership PAC contributed to their legal fees to ensure they have representation against unlawful harassment.”
