The Times flagged an invitation to a major upcoming dinner for the new Trump 47 Committee asking donors to contribute up to $814,600 to attend. The invitation shows that the first $6,600 of the donation will go to Trump’s campaign, the next $5,000 would go to the Save America PAC that paid over $50 million in legal bills last year, and the next $413,000 go to the RNC, followed by dozens of state parties.
The agreement comes as Save America is burning an average of $5 million a month in legal payments for Trump and his co-defendants and allies. It also comes after Trump’s allies, including daughter-in-law Lara Trump, took over the RNC and purged dozens of officials.
Trump officials previously “angrily pushed back” on claims that the RNC would help defray Trump’s legal costs, the Times noted.

Joe Biden also dodged the Draft. Claimed he has "asthma". Olympic athletes have asthma, yet still compete.
President Joe Biden did receive five draft deferments, but they were granted because he was a student, first in college and then law school.
Later, Biden underwent a physical exam and received a Selective Service 1-Y classification — which specified that he could be drafted only in a national emergency — because of his asthma.
The 22-year-old — who was 6 feet 2 inches tall and an athlete — had already avoided the military draft four times in order to complete his college education.
But that spring, as he was set to graduate, he received a diagnosis that landed him a fifth draft deferment that would once again keep him out of Vietnam: bone spurs.
President Trump sat out the war and instead went on to join his father in business. The New York Times reported that the president, as a young man, said his "heel spurs," which are protrusions caused by calcium buildup on the heel bone, made him unfit for service.
Heel spurs can be cured by stretching, orthotics, or surgery. The president said he never got surgery for the condition.
“Over a period of time, it healed up,” he said, according to the Times.
