[City, State] – Co-defendants in the highly publicized Georgia election subversion case are grappling with the burden of mounting legal bills. At least four defendants have resorted to crowdfunding platforms to raise funds for their defense lawyers, while one has established a political action committee (PAC) to help cover legal expenses.
Unlike in previous cases, former President Donald Trump has distanced himself from the Georgia defendants and has not extended financial support to cover their legal fees. Trump, who has covered legal costs for aides and employees in other cases, has chosen not to involve himself directly in this particular matter.
Interestingly, Trump’s PAC, Save America, has already spent a staggering $40 million on legal fees for him and his associates in 2021, according to recent reports. However, despite the significant legal expenses incurred by Trump, the same support has not been provided to these defendants.
Some defendants, such as Jenna Ellis and John Eastman, have managed to successfully raise funds through crowdfunding sites, alleviating some of their financial burdens. Nevertheless, the prospect of facing expensive legal defenses has fueled frustration among the defendants who had initially hoped that Trump would finance their legal battle.
Notably, Rudy Giuliani, Trump’s personal attorney, is also encountering financial difficulties in paying his legal bills and has sought assistance from Trump. The situation highlights the strain faced by defendants entangled in high-profile legal disputes.
In a surprising turn of events, other Republicans, including Representative Chip Roy, have stepped forward to offer support to multiple defendants in the case. This gesture underlines the significance of the trial’s outcome for not only the defendants but also for the wider Republican community.
Moreover, Trump’s campaign has been actively seeking donations to cover the substantial legal costs incurred across various cases. The financial burden of mounting legal fees further underscores the intensity of the legal battles surrounding the 2020 election outcome.
As the trial progresses, the defendants in the Georgia election subversion case continue to grapple with the financial strains of their legal defense. While some have turned to crowdfunding and PACs, Trump’s distancing from their legal expenses has left them scrambling to secure the necessary funds. With mounting costs and the absence of financial support from Trump, these defendants face an uncertain future as they fight to clear their names in this high-stakes case.
