Trump’s PAC has $70 million — and he’s focused on stopping Brian Kemp’s re-election: report

Matthew Chapman
January 25, 2021

On Monday, The New York Times reported that one of the many ways former President Donald Trump plans to re-enter politics over the next two years is working to oust Gov. Brian Kemp (R-GA), a one-time ally who had a falling out.

"Advisers to the president say he has just over $70 million in his PAC, Save America, with few restrictions on what he can do with it," reported Maggie Haberman and Reid Epstein. "For now, most of his staff is on a government payroll afforded to former presidents for a period of time after they leave office."

His post election scam said that 60% goes into his own bank account and the rest goes to the RNC. I bet 100% goes to his own bank account.

Plus, he has hundreds of millions in bank loans coming due along with millions in legal bills. Old Fat Donald will need every bit of that 70 million.
