More than a year after the 2020 presidential election, the GOP is still covering numerous legal bills for the benefit of former President Donald Trump -- and the price tag is ruffling the feathers of some longtime GOP donors who are now critical of Trump.
In October and November [of 2021] alone, the Republican National Committee spent nearly $720,000 of its donor money on paying law firms representing Trump in various legal challenges, including criminal investigations into his businesses in New York, according to campaign finance records.
Pretty cushy deal that they're paying Trump's legal fees for his allegedly fraudulent business practices.
But they're going to stop paying if he runs, which they hope to use as a level to get him to either delay his announcement or not run at all.
So he's a billionaire, so he says, and one of the richest guys in America, so he says, but he can't afford to pay for lawyers.
Interesting. Grifters gotta grift.

Then there's the $103 million in his "Leadership PAC" that he loses control over the minute he announces. Between the upcoming indictments and the rise of DeSantis, he'll probably do it anyway.
