President Donald Trump has put the wheels in motion to host a lavish dinner that is expected to raise $1 million to help alleviate the legal fees pressing down on his 18 co-defendants in the Georgia case alleging election interference. The candlelit dinner, the details of which are still being ironed out, will be a major boost to individuals who do not have the financial largesse of the former president and in some cases have been left in deplorable jail conditions because they could not afford bail.
The Messenger reports that the effort is being spearheaded by Eric Trump and Donald Trump, Jr. who see the event as a surefire way to keep the defendants covered in four separate legal entanglements across Florida, Georgia, New York, and Washington, D.C. Most of Trump’s co-defendants are facing charges in Georgia where Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis is pursuing timelines for speedy prosecutions that one judge has called “unrealistic.”
The effort does not necessarily mean that co-defendants will support President Trump’s reelection campaign either: at least one, Jenna Ellis, has publicly backed his rival, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis.
