In a deposition taken in July, Bartov disclosed that he was being paid $1,350 an hour to work on the case. In court, he said he had now worked about 650 hours on the case, which would total $877,500.
Questioned by lawyers for New York’s attorney general, Bartov said the money had come from the Trump Organization and the former president’s political action committee, Save America.
Not a lawyer. Isn’t it a crime for a PAC to pay money in a civil trial?
That’s exactly why I pulled that part of the article, I was hoping someone could answer that.

The law is tricky. It’s not explicitly against the law, as per the article.
Why would it be? PACs can do pretty much anything with their money.
Turns out there are all kinds of PACs.
