Trump’s groups brought in more than $80 million during the first half of 2021, a large chunk of which was transferred in from Trump-affiliated accounts. He used some of his funds on things like salaries for aides and political advisers, as well as events, travel expenses and fundraising outreach to supporters.
A Trump spokesperson confirmed that no funds from any of Trump’s political committees have been spent in Arizona or other efforts, like the lawsuit calling for an audit in Fulton County, Georgia. Thewas first to report lack of funding for the Arizona audit before FEC filings were made public. Trump’s Make America Great Again PAC also footed the bill for legal consulting fees during Trump’s second impeachment trial. The law firms of Trump’s three impeachment attorneys, Bruce Castor, Michael van der Veen, and David Schoen, were collectively paid more than $600,000.
