Former President Donald J. Trumps new shared fund-raising agreement with the Republican National Committee directs a portion of donations to the political account he has used to pay his legal bills before any money goes to the party itself.
The order in which entities will receive funds from big donors through what is known as the Trump 47 Committee was disclosed in the fine print of an invitation to a big dinner next month in Palm Beach, Fla., where top donors are asked to contribute up to $814,600 per person to attend.
The invitation shows that the first $6,600 donated will go to Mr. Trumps campaign. The next $5,000 will go to his Save America PAC, which paid more than $50 million in legal and investigation-related bills for Mr. Trump in 2023. The $5,000 amount is the maximum that federal rules say can be contributed to Save America by an individual.
After that, the R.N.C. gets the next $413,000, followed by dozens of state parties.
In practice, what that means is that even modestly large contributors anything above $6,600 will fund the account that Mr. Trump has used to defray legal costs. And the fund-raising agreement came as Save America, which has averaged roughly $5 million a month in legal payments for Mr. Trump and witnesses in his cases, is on course to run low on funds as the spring ends.
Wait, so trump gets the first 11k of all donations? Or just for that fundraiser.
The nature of such a dinner for megadonors is that most funds will still go to the party. But for a smaller event with, for instance, a $25,000 price to attend, a far larger share under the agreement would go to Mr. Trumps PAC.
why the fuck would the RNC agree to that?The thing you have to understand about the GOP is that they are very stupid.

why the f*** would the RNC agree to that?
So the more people sue Trump, the less money the RNC gets? Sounds good to me!
Also can't believe it's legal to use campaign finances to pay for lawyers for whatever random business dealings and sexual assault cases, etc... But we basically have no campaign finance laws, so I guess I shouldn't be surprised.
And it's funny that it's a minimum amount to get any money to the RNC, not like... "any money above X goes to Trump". Small donors have literally no reason to donate now, it's just going to pay Trump's lawyers or go to payouts to those suing him (ie, "the people we hate").
Or the more he keeps talking about Carroll, the less money the RNC gets. That would do it too."I sued Donald Trump and suddenly I have the entire RNC budget for the Pacific Northwest"
Well, hes going to run out of possible lawyers if he doesnt start paying them soon.
Good. This hurts every other Republican candidate and that's only a good thing for the nation.
As much as I hate Trump and his blatant grifter/criminal activity, I can't deny my stance is softened when it directly hurts Republicans and their voters.
Like, yes, siphon all of your money to that "billionaire" and his legal fees.
All the sweeter knowing the money he's stealing from them is going to wind up in bank accounts belonging to Carroll and the state of New York.
he'll get another bond from Russian oligarchs to cover the current obligationI'm not so sure he can. Most of those oligarchs are under sanctions, and a large portion of their assets are frozen. It is a guarantee that if he does pay it, there will be intense scrutiny as to where he got it. And if they trace back that he took money from a foreign power that is under sanctions, then the fines will be the least of his legal problems.

Trump has more money than the entire DNC. If you think hes going to lose, well I have a bridge to sell you.
why the fuck would the RNC agree to that? If im not misreading this then the actual party does not see a dime until Trump has taken $10k.Republicans know they can't win without Trump's cult and that his cult will turn against anyone if he tells them to. Republicans are stuck having to appease Trump because if they don't he'll ruin their careers.
Theyre basically just forfeiting funds under $10k?
