The hefty sum underscores the legal jeopardy Trump faces as he marches toward securing the 2024 Republican presidential nomination. The Trump campaign did not respond to a request for comment on the legal spending. Trump’s campaign paid Atlanta attorney Steven Sadow $1.5 million in the second half of 2023. Campaign money was also used to pay attorneys who have represented co-defendants and potential witnesses in the Trump cases. The New York attorney general’s case against Trump centers on his business financial statements.

However the ex-president’s appeal ends against a limited gag order imposed in his federal election subversion case, he can expect a benefit. A judgment in Trump’s favor on the gag order – which has been temporarily frozen while the appeal is heard – would pale against his four criminal trials and his current civil fraud trial in New York. How the gag order case reflects Trump’s intense challenge to accountabilityThe gag order appeal is entwined with complex arguments on the breadth of the First Amendment and the extent to which courts have the right to regulate its scope in order to protect their officers and proceedings and the administration of justice. Trump’s legal team argued that any restrictions on his comments represent an unconstitutional assault on his rights to freedom of political speech. The incitement issue is not a hypothetical one in the gag order case.

☆ Trump judge sets limits on what evidence he can publicly share in D.C. election case

The federal judge overseeing Donald Trump's election interference case hammered out the details of a protective order at the center of an early dispute between the former president's attorneys and special counsel Jack Smith's prosecutors. But she gave the Department of Justice the opportunity to deem which materials are "sensitive" enough to be covered by the protective order. The judge brushed aside a defense attorney's concerns that the protective order could hamper Trump's political speech as he seeks the 2024 Republican presidential nomination. Before the hearing wrapped, Chutkan told Trump and his team to avoid making any public statements that could impact the integrity of the case. Trump faces four counts related to his efforts to overturn his loss to President Joe Biden in the 2020 election.

☆ Trump's lawyers said he's a modern-day Galileo Galilei, and that 'crackpot ideas sometimes turn out to be true'
▼ + stars: | 2022-11-15 | by ( Cheryl Teh | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +2 min

Trump's lawyers likened him to astronomer Galileo Galilei in a court filing on Monday. In the legal brief, Trump's lawyers argued that like Galileo, Trump believes in his own truths. Trump's team is arguing that it is "correct or at least debatable" that several of Trump's conspiracy theories are accurate. These theories include the baseless claim that the 2020 election was "stolen" from the former president, per Trump's lawyers. The lawsuit was thrown out in May, but Trump's team is attempting to revive the case, citing "overtly partisan censorship."
