Trump fundraising with RNC to benefit group paying legal fees

        A fundraising group that has spent tens of millions of dollars on Donald Trump's legal fees stands to benefit from a new fundraising tie-up with the Republican National Committee, according to media reports on Thursday.
        
        Since clinching the Republican presidential nomination earlier this month, Trump can now raise money with the RNC ahead of the Nov. 5 election rematch against Democrat Joe Biden.
        
        While he easily swept to the Republican nomination, Trump is facing a growing financial squeeze as legal judgments pile up and many major donors remain reticent about writing checks, sometimes due to concerns about donations going to legal fees.
        
        Highlighting the urgency of his legal fees, the Trump 47 Committee directs funds to the Save America leadership group before anything goes to the RNC, an invitation to an April 6 fundraiser in Palm Beach, Florida, showed, according to media reports.
