Trump fundraiser emails for legal challenges would also pay down campaign debt, fine print says

[Arkansas Granny]

In the Trump campaign's latest push to raise money for its "election defense" fund, at least half of any donation could go toward paying down debt for the president's campaign, according to the fine print.

-------------

"President Trump is FIGHTING BACK to defend the integrity of this Election, but he can't do it alone," one email reads. "He needs YOU to step up and join him by contributing to our critical Election Defense Fund."

But a disclaimer on the website states that 50% of any donation will go toward the campaign's general election debt retirement and the other half toward the campaign's recount account, the Wall Street Journal first reported.

A separate fundraising effort by the "Trump Make America Great Again Committee" states that 60% of contributions will go toward campaign debt while 40% goes to the RNC.

1. you know his campaign owes the Trump company money

And that’s who’s going to get paid

5. Exactly!

He'll funnel it into his pockets, and a source of income for him. Expect bankruptcies in his future after he hides money overseas.
