Donald Trump’s new joint #fundraising agreement with the Republican National Committee directs donations to his #campaign and a political action committee that pays the former president’s #legal#bills 🔥before the RNC gets a cut🔥, according to a fundraising invitation obtained by The Associated Press.
The unorthodox diversion of funds to the Save America PAC makes it more likely that 👉Republican donors could see their money go to Trump’s lawyers, who have received at least💰 $76 million💰 over the last two years to defend him against four felony indictments and multiple civil cases.
Some Republicans are already troubled that Trump’s takeover of the RNC could shortchange the cash-strapped party.
Trump has invited high-dollar donors to Palm Beach, Florida, for an April 6 fundraiser that comes as his fundraising is well behind President Joe Biden and national Democrats.
The invitation’s fine print says donations to the Trump 47 Committee will first be used to give the maximum amount allowed under federal law to Trump’s campaign.
Anything left over from the donation next goes toward a maximum contribution to Save America, and then anything left from there goes to the RNC and then to state political parties.
