The nonprofit Lawfare Defense Fund has disclosed a major fundraising effort. It reports
having collected $36 million since its inception. The organization describes its mission
as helping people it calls “unjust victims” of the legal system. To that end, it intends
to award grants that cover litigation costs. The fund’s leadership has connections to
former President Donald Trump. Critics say the money will be directed toward allies of
Trump facing legal challenges. Supporters argue the grants provide needed resources for
individuals they view as targeted by the courts. The initiative raises questions about
political financing of legal defenses ahead of upcoming elections.
