Per Politico: Trump hoards a growing war chest

Politico reported on 3/21 that “Trump’s Save America PAC crossed $110 million in the bank at the end of February, after taking in $3.5 million during the month and spending just $1.2 million.

That is more money than both national political parties — the Democratic National Committee and the Republican National Committee — have combined in their main bank account. The DNC reported $52.9 million in its coffers at the end of the month, while its Republican counterpart had $45.5 million in its bank account.

Trump has done little to spend his largesse around the party. The committee did not report any new donations or independent expenditures backing Trump-endorsed candidates.

The filings did, however, reveal substantial payments to two law firms representing high-profile witnesses sought by the Jan. 6 select committee. One of them, Brand Woodward — the firm of former House counsel Stan Brand — represents longtime Trump aide Dan Scavino, who still draws a check from the leadership PAC. Brand’s counterpart, Stanley Woodward, represents several of the defendants charged with breaching the Capitol.

Daniel Bean, an attorney with the other firm, Abel Bean, represents Trump spokesperson Taylor Budowich.”
