A spokesman for Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis's presidential campaign is criticizing former President Donald Trump after a new report alleged that his super PAC spent more than $40 million in legal fees.
The Washington Post reports that Trump's Save America PAC will disclose about $40.2 million in legal spending in a Federal Election Commission filing on Monday, which the DeSantis team notes is"more than the $36 million Trump's campaign has brought in since he has been a candidate."What that number doesn't surpass, however, is the $69.
"Ron DeSantis and his campaign are disgustingly siding with Liz Cheney, Adam Schiff, and the January 6th Unselect Committee. They would rather defend Crooked Joe Biden and his weaponized Department of Justice than the innocent people who are being targeted by these political witch-hunts," said Steven Cheung, a spokesman for Trump's campaign."Only desperate idiots and un-American morons would take the position the DeSantis team has taken.
Trump faces 40 counts in the Justice Department's classified documents case against him, which special counsel Jack Smith said in May were related to"felony violations of our national security laws as well as participating in a conspiracy to obstruct justice.” Smith is separately investigating the former president over his handling of his 2020 election loss, and is reported to be considering charges in that case.

Trump criticizes DeSantis without pushback at Iowa event, even after new criminal chargesRepublican presidential rivals Donald Trump and Ron DeSantis appeared at the same event in the 2024 White House race for the first time on Friday, but even a day after Trump faced fresh criminal charges, it was the former president talking down DeSantis rather than the other way around. Trump, who has all year relentlessly attacked DeSantis, his nearest rival for the Republican nomination, told a crowd of Iowa Republicans 'not to take a chance' on the Florida governor he mockingly calls 'DeSanctus', among other nicknames. DeSantis was seen as a major threat to Trump at the beginning of the year but his campaign has been flagging in recent weeks.
