President Trump is directing money raised through his campaign’s breathless requests to “defend the election” into a new political action committee before his recount fund, a move that allows him greater flexibility to fund his future political endeavors.
The new group, called Save America, is a federal fund-raising vehicle known as a leadership PAC that has donation limits of $5,000 per donor per year. It can be used to underwrite Mr. Trump’s post-presidential political activities even as he continues to falsely claim that he won the 2020 race.
