Former President Donald Trump spent approximately $50 million in donor money on legal bills and investigation-related expenses last year. This comes as he faces multiple lawsuits and 91 felony charges across four criminal cases. The expenses are related to a New York civil fraud case, where Judge Arthur Engoron is expected to rule on a multi-million-dollar penalty for allegations of inflating asset values in his business dealings. The final judgment against Trump in the Engoron case could exceed $370 million, including interest and penalties. Trump's political fundraising apparatus, including the Save America PAC and Make America Great Again PACs, has been funding his legal fees, leaving the PACs with only $5 million in the bank. The verdict in the New York civil fraud trial may not come until mid-February, delaying the announcement of whether Trump will face a lifetime business ban in NYC.
