Donald Trump’s Save America PAC, the main political committee he uses to pay legal bills, is nearly $500,000 in debt, according to a Federal Election Commission filing published on April 15, 2026.
The committee owes about $1.6 million to law firms for work done in the first three months of 2026.
The PAC reported working with at least 20 law firms during that period and still owes money to 12 of them. Two of the creditors are based in the United Kingdom.
The White House and the Save America PAC did not respond to requests for comment from NOTUS.
Largest Debts to New York Firms
The largest debt is more than $660,000 to NechelesLaw LLP, a criminal-defense firm in New York. Susan Necheles represented Trump during his 2024 hush money trial and cross-examined Stormy Daniels. The PAC also owes about $112,000 to Wharton Law PLLC, whose head lawyer also worked on that trial.
Save America owes around $400,000 to Sullivan & Cromwell LLP. Last week, Trump nominated one of the firm’s lawyers to a lifetime seat on a U.S. appeals court in New York. The PAC owes James Otis Law Group LLC in St. Louis about $1,700. Trump nominated a lawyer from that firm to a federal judicial position in February.

In Florida, the PAC owes Brito PLLC more than $44,000. That firm has represented Trump in defamation cases against The New York Times, the BBC, ABC News and George Stephanopoulos. It is also handling his $5 billion lawsuit against JPMorgan Chase and CEO Jamie Dimon.
The committee owes about $19,000 to Habba Madaio & Associates LLP, now known as Madaio Eyet & Associates, near Trump’s golf course in Bedminster, New Jersey. Alina Habba, a former partner at the firm, represented Trump in several high-profile cases and served as New Jersey’s top prosecutor until December.
Debts Extend to UK and Other Firms
Save America owes about $27,000 to William Sturges LLP in London and $20,000 to Level Law LTD, also in London. It also owes money to Secil Law PLLC, Tacopina, Seigel & DeOreo in New York, and Weber, Crabb & Wein, P.A. in Florida.
The PAC paid other firms for legal work but does not owe them money now. Those include Alan R. Ostergren, PC; The Dhillon Law Group; Elections LLC; Epstein & Co.; Farris, Parker & Hubbard; New Age Consulting LLC; Richard C. Klugh, P.A.; and Binnall Law Group.
This is not the first time the PAC has shown this pattern. It has previously paid millions to lawyers while spending more than it raised.
Why This Matters
The debts show the high cost of Trump’s ongoing legal work even after he returned to the White House. The PAC continues to rely on donor money to cover bills from past and current cases.
Federal Election Commission rules limit how these funds can be used, and the committee must report all debts and payments. The latest filing makes clear that legal expenses remain a major part of the PAC’s spending.
