Filings show that the money that went to Trump’s legal bills was part of more than $16 million that Trump’s PAC, Save America, spent for legal-related payments in 2021 and 2022. Trump spent $10 million from his PAC on his legal bills last year:

The recent spending related to Trump is notable not just for the sheer volume — it represented about 19% of the PAC’s total expenditures outside of transfers to one of his other political committees and those backing other candidates — but also because Trump is now a declared candidate for president again.
The vast majority of Trump’s PAC money was raised before he officially entered the 2024 presidential race on Nov. 15. At the end of last year, the PAC had just over $18 million in cash on hand, its federal filings show. The single biggest payment that Trump made from the PAC money to a law firm last year — $3 million — went to the Florida-based law firm Critton, Luttier and Coleman, which is affiliated with Christopher M. Kise, a former solicitor general of Florida. Kise joined Trump’s team initially to take on the Mar-a-Lago documents case and he is now involved in defending Trump and his company in a fraud suit filed by the New York attorney general, Letitia James.
Another roughly $1.2 million was paid to Ifrah Law, the firm of Jim Trusty, a former federal prosecutor who Trump saw on television and decided to hire.
