THE Save America PAC, closely associated with the former president Donald Trumpis facing financial difficulties after shelling out nearly $3.7 million in legal fees in March alone.
This spending is part of a larger trend: The PAC has spent more than $59.5 million on legal advice since the start of 2023.
The substantial outflow of funds to legal defenses, highlighted by more than $1.1 million directed to law firms involved in Trump’s gag trial in New York, underscores the financial toll of ongoing legal challenges on Trump’s political machine.
Referring to the latest documents filed with the Federal Election Commission, Politico reported on the expenses and new legal debts incurred.
Despite huge legal bills, which rival Trump’s campaign committee’s monthly expenses, Save America maintained a positive balance in March, thanks to a $5 million reimbursement from Make America Great Again, Inc.a super PAC supporting Trump.

This financial interaction between PACs has been a lifeline for Save America, facilitating its role in covering legal costs related to Trump and his allies.
However, the sustainability of this funding model is in question as MAGA Inc. cannot transfer more than $2.75 million to Save America.
This limitation, combined with Save America PAC’s dwindling cash reserves of just over $4 million, pose challenges to its ability to continue to serve as Trump’s primary conduit for legal funding.
Amid these financial constraints, the Republican National Committee (RNC) had its most successful fundraising month in March, raising $20 million.
Despite this, the RNC’s expenses have left it with a significantly smaller cash reserve than the Democratic National Committee.
Additionally, MAGA Inc. has seen a strong influx of funds, with significant donations from high-profile GOP supporters. However, most of these funds are earmarked and cannot be earmarked for Save America.
