Cohen said Trump had far greater discretion over how he spends money raised through his PACs than he would if they were campaign funds. Under Federal Election Commission rules, Trump's power to spend money raised through a PAC is pretty much unlimited. But he is barred from spending the funds on his presidential campaign if he does announce a candidacy. These rules together mean he likely would be more limited in spending his existing PAC money than he currently is.
