As he's on trial for accounting fraud to disguise hush money payments as legal fees to undermine the 2026 election, how is Trump paying his legal fees? Seemingly by illegally disguising PAC funds laundered to his own use as legal fees, evading campaign finance laws to undermine the 2024 election. Well, it worked once so why not?

Before MAGA: business owner, president of Alabama chamber of commerce, lawyer, campaign communications director, chief of staff to US senator, US senator.

Well I don't know if all that's true
'Cause you hacked me, and Putin he's got you
Babe
But your emails
But your emails
They say your hate won't build the wall
Before it's up you're gonna take a fall
They got ladders
They got ladders
You got anger. You got hate.
But I got you, to take the bait.
So let them say your tie's too long
'Cause I don't care, against you how can I lose?
Then put your tiny hand in mine
There ain't no law or custom you won't break
Babe
But your emails

Because of Republicans’ objections, Congress still hasn’t approved a penny of it.
