Trump has blown $2.5M on trial experts — and that's just tip of his legal expenses: report

Juggling multiple trials in four jurisdictions, Donald Trump and his affiliated PAC are shelling out millions of dollars in legal fees with no end in sight, reports ABC News.

With a racketeering trial ramping up in Georgia, federal cases in both Florida and Washington, D.C., plus a financial fraud civil suit, the E. Jean Carroll defamation case and the hush money trial taking place in Manhattan, the report states that the embattled former president has had to pay legal fees into the tens of millions.

Trump's Save America PAC has "reported more than $20 million in legal spending across various court battles," ABC is reporting, while noting roughly $7 million alone has been paid to defense lawyers working on the $250 million financial fraud case playing out in Judge Arthur Engoron's courtroom.

That money, the report notes, has come from donations from the former president's MAGA fans.

Add to that, expert witnesses paid by the former president to bolster his claim that he did not defraud banks and insurance companies have been cashing in in a big way, with real estate valuations expert Fredrick Chin billing $850,000 for 1,000 hours of work and NYU accounting professor Eli Bartov banking $877,500.

According to Syracuse University College of Law professor Gregory Germain, what Trump is getting for his money in the financial fraud trial is "very expensive political theater."
