Donald Trump has established a new joint fundraising committee with the Republican National Committee (RNC), named the Trump 47 Committee, aimed at raising funds for his campaign and legal expenses. This arrangement prioritizes the allocation of donations to Trump's campaign and the Save America political action committee, which covers his legal bills, before any funds are directed to the RNC or state parties. Despite previous assertions that the RNC would not finance Trump's legal costs, the structure of this fundraising agreement suggests otherwise. The Trump 47 Committee can solicit up to $814,600 from individual donors, with a small fraction of this amount, less than 1% or specifically 0.006%, allocated to Save America. This move has sparked criticism, with some viewing the RNC's involvement as primarily serving to fund Trump's legal defenses.
