Former president Donald Trump's PAC has raised $75 million this year as he's
peddled false claims about widespread fraud in the 2020 presidential election,
the Washington Post reported Thursday. However, despite pledging to fight the
election results in solicitations to donors, Trump hasn't spent a dime of that
money to support audits in Arizona or other states.
"Instead, the Save America leadership PAC — which has few limits on how it can
spend its money — has paid for some of the former president's travel, legal
costs and staff, along with other expenses, according to the people, who spoke
on the condition of anonymity to describe the group's inner workings. The PAC
has held onto much of its cash," the Post reported.
MSNBC's Steve Benen wrote that the report again raises the question of whether
Trump is "genuinely delusional" and believes he really won the election, or he's
"little more than a con man."
"It's an interesting debate, but this new reporting suggests the resolution of
the question isn't altogether relevant: regardless of Trump's true beliefs, his
apparent priority is making sure his followers keep sending him their money. The
scheme is working -- again," Benen wrote.
