“The only thing Trump cannot do with the millions and millions of dollars he’s raised into his leadership PAC is support himself. The only plausible explanation for this move is to convert that money to be spent on his own campaign,” one lawyer says.
However, one thing Trump could do with that money is spend unlimited amounts of it helping out his allies. In fact, Save America could act like exactly a super PAC in that regard. Which, according to Documented deputy executive director Brendan Fischer, suggests Trump’s team is trying to “manufacture deniability” so they can spend the money later backing Trump’s 2024 presidential run.
“As a hard money PAC, Save America actually has MORE flexibility to support other candidates than a super PAC,” Fischer explained. “Both Save America and MAGA Inc. can spend unlimited amounts on ads supporting candidates, but only Save America can also make direct contributions to candidates. By transferring Save America funds to a super PAC, the money can no longer be used for direct contributions.
Aaron Scherb, senior director of legislative affairs at Common Cause, said it appears Trump will skate, thanks to historically lax federal enforcement on the question.
