Donald Trump sold his 1997 Cessna jet to Republican mega donor Mehrdad Moayedi, an Iranian-American tycoon.
The undisclosed sale took place this month, with the jet estimated to be worth approximately $10 million.
Trump’s legal fees have escalated following his multiple indictment, with his Save America PAC disbursing about $50 million to cover legal expenses since March 2023.

This sale comes amid increasing legal expenses and financial challenges. In addition to his Boeing 757 private jet known as Trump Force One and a collection of Sikorsky S76 Helicopters.
Trump is currently battling the New York City trial regarding alleged hush money payments. Trump has pleaded not guilty.
To cover his substantial legal fees, Trump has heavily relied on contributions to his political action committees.

Trump, expected to be the Republican nominee for the 2024 election, is confronted with multiple criminal charges, becoming the first U.S. president to be indicted in four cases.

Despite having an estimated net worth of approximately $7 billion according to Forbes, Trump encounters significant legal costs, including a $454 million civil fraud ruling in February.

The other cases involve alleged election interference in Georgia, federal charges linked to Trump’s efforts to challenge the 2020 election outcome, and mishandling of classified documents.
