Federal Election Commission filings found that the ex-president’s main political action committee blew through tens of millions of dollars in 2023.

While Trump’s Save America PAC once had an estimated $100 million in the bank, the newly released FEC filings showed that the political action committee currently has just over $5 million left after spending $25 million on Trump’s legal fees in the second half of 2023 alone.

Also shocking was the revelation that Trump’s Save America PAC only raised $6.6 million from July to December – meaning the political action committee spent roughly four times more than what it brought in during the second half of 2023.

The Make America Great Again PAC – another political action committee connected to Trump – also reportedly spent $4 million of its nearly $6 million war chest on the ex-president’s legal fees last year.

Trump’s Make America Great Again PAC only has $572,828 left in its bank account, according to the latest FEC filings.

Trump relied heavily on Washington insiders for advice on staffing.

As for the embattled ex-president’s 2024 campaign committee, it raised just over $19 million last year while spending approximately $23.5 million during the latest fundraising period.

Some of the Trump campaign’s most costly expenses included $7.6 million on campaign ads, $3.7 million on legal consulting, $1.7 million for Trump's plane, and another $1.66 million on event staging.
