This means that Trump has now spent nearly $4 million in legal fees since he was inaugurated in January 2017. The Washington Post reported that in the last quarter of 2017 — October to December — $1.1 million was spent to pay lawyers that represent Trump, his campaign, and his associates.
Nearly 20 percent of the money that President Trump’s reelection campaign has spent in 2018 has gone directly to legal fees, according to a report by The Washington Post.
Lara Trump, the president's daughter-in-law and senior advisor to Donald J. Trump for President, Inc. was quoted in a statement released by the campaign in January saying that the campaign’s fundraising efforts are virtually unmatched. She wrote:

Trump has maintained that he acted appropriately. While the figure doesn't include the Senate trial, the tab through December is sharply lower than the one for the impeachment investigation and trial of President Bill Clinton two decades ago.
The campaign has already spent $1.13 billion. At the time Joe Biden became the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, President Donald Trump and the Republican National Committee had a nearly $200 million leg up in terms of campaign funds, The New York Times reported.
Trump and the Republican Party have funneled roughly $4 million into the Trump family businesses since 2019, The New York Times reported.

The problem could much deeper than campaign finance violations. Advertising.

Anyone who has run a national campaign knows that the first thing you do every morning and the last thing you do every night is know your cash-on-hand position: what's in the bank, what needs to be paid, what is expected to come in that day, week, and month.
