Trump allies, led by longtime Trump adviser Michael Glassner, are creating a new legal defense fund, according to a person with direct knowledge of the plans.
The group will be called the Patriot Legal Defense Fund Inc., and its focus will be on paying legal bills not for Trump and his family, but for Trump's allies and staffers. The group's creation comes as the former president and some of his associates are embroiled in multiple criminal investigations and cases.
The group is not a part of the Trump 2024 campaign and is separate from Trump's leadership PAC, Save America, which has alreadyon legal fees for Trump and associates so far this year. Save America doesn't offer a breakdown of how much has been spent on any individual, or which investigations are involved.
Earlier this year, the Trump campaign noted in fine print that it was increasing the percentage of supporters' donations it sent to Trump's Save America PAC from 1% to 10%, as the New York Times first reported in June — a signal of how expensive Trump world expects these legal fights to be.
