Though the pitches stated that donations were needed for an “Election Defense Fund,” nearly 75 percent of the money collected could end up going toward a political action committee, The New York Times reported.
Almost $5,000 of a donor’s contribution will be allotted to Trump’s new PAC, Save America, which could help fund the president’s future political efforts, with the remainder going toward recount and other efforts to overturn the 2020 vote, according to the Times.
