Former President Trump claimed that he has accrued over $100 million in legal fees as he faces numerous court battles. In a speech to supporters in Iowa, Trump expressed his frustration over the cost of legal representation, stating that it had cost him billions of dollars to be involved in politics and that he had turned down multiple opportunities to make money during his presidency to avoid conflicts of interest.
Trump also mentioned that the legal cases against him have added to the financial burden, despite having what he considers to be good lawyers. Trump is currently facing both civil and criminal cases, including federal and state charges related to his actions during and after the 2020 election, as well as a case in New York related to alleged fraudulent business practices.
