"Former President Trump’s political operation is facing a cash crunch even as he outraises his GOP rivals, according to new campaign finance filings.
Disclosures made public ahead of a Monday night filing deadline showed Trump’s joint fundraising committee reported raising nearly $54 Million during the first half of 2023, putting him well ahead of the rest of the primary field.
But filings show that Trump’s political committees spent roughly $25 million on legal fees in the same period, burning through much of what was raised. The Associated Press, citing a person familiar with the matter, reported that the spending on legal fees was closer to $40 Million.
Trump’s political operation, which includes his joint fundraising organization and a leadership PAC known as Save America, has roughly $32 million cash on hand heading into the second half of 2023."
