Now that Donald Trump has complete control over the RNC, he has created a new joint fundraising agreement between his campaign and the RNC. The goal is to have donors fund Trump's lawyers, rather than Republican candidates. The lawyers have already eaten up $76 million in the past 2 years, and none of the criminal cases have even gone to trial yet, when the legal fees could become astronomical.
Trump is holding a fundraiser at Mar-a-Lago on April 6. The fine print on the invitation states that the first $6,600 of all donations will go to Trump's campaign. The next $5,000 will go to the misnamed Save America PAC, which actually is a Save Trump PAC since it pays Trump's legal bills. Anything over that will go to the RNC. However, donors will also be given an opportunity to also toss some money at the Trump 47 Committee, which also shovels a goodly piece of its money to the Save America PAC.
It is likely as time goes on and Trump's legal bills mount, he will find more ways to make sure a fair chunk of all donations somehow end up at the Save America PAC. On the Democratic side, nothing like this structure exists. All donations go directly to Joe Biden's campaign or the DNC. Nothing goes to pay any person's legal bills. (V)
