Donald Trump's lead political action committee, Save America, reportedly spent $40.2 million in legal fees as the former president grapples with two indictments, with another potentially looming ahead, and a slew of investigations.

What Happened: If the pro-Trump PAC raised funding by falsely claiming election fraud and has used it for the presidential hopeful's legal fees etc, the fundraising scheme could be the basis of fraud charges, said Andrew Weissmann, who served the Department of Justice for two decades.

The money obtained by the scheme can be seized in a pre-trial forfeiture order, he said.

Shortly after being indicted in the hush money case by the Manhattan Attorney's office, Trump's campaign sent a fundraising email, soliciting donations for his reelection.
