Among the Trump campaign's itemized disbursements released last night. docquery.fec.gov/cgi-bin/forms/…
Bear in mind, these are only the campaign's spending.

Trump Victory has another long set of Trump disbursements, like $294,019.95 paid to Trump Hotel Collection on Nov. 12, after Trump was the declared the loser. docquery.fec.gov/cgi-bin/forms/…
Trump Victory is a joint fundraising committee, meaning that other big GOP interests are benefiting—incentivizing their dragging this out.

Here's the list: opensecrets.org/jfc/summary.ph…
I should note:

The screenshot above is OpenSecrets' tally of the year to date as of mid-October, not including the recently disclosed FEC filings.
Trump announced a massive $207.5 million post-election fundraising haul, counting his PACs and the RNC, and little of it is going to lawsuits.

We break it down here.

Flashback:

This was Lin Wood's response to me earlier this week when I asked him to produce paperwork for his purported 501(c)4, which he refused to provide.

lawandcrime.com/2020-election/… Image
For those asking, the public record on Mr. Wood's purported 501(c)4 is scant.

It was incorporated in Texas through a local subsidiary of a Dutch information company on Aug. 12 of this year, too soon for a Form 990 to become available.
I asked his attorney to provide his Form 1024-a, which must be made publicly available.

His attorney said Wood didn't file one, but instead filed a non-accessible Form 8976.

As one expert explained: “By filing form 8976, all they’ve done is announced they exist."

"A Judge Just Shot Down 25 of the Trump Campaign's Conspiracy Theories in Nevada"

Shooting down their baseless claims, the Nevada judge wrote the challengers “did not prove under any standard of proof" — 25 times.

A breakdown.

"Contest[ant]s did not prove under any standard of proof that the Agilis machine malfunctioned."

That's the automated counting machine vilified in many a pro-Trump election-conspiracy suit. Image
Three of the iterations of "did not prove under any standard of proof" had to do with claims about Agilis machines.

Big scoop by @KenVogel and three other fearsome NYT bylines here, ending the sleuthing on the "Bribery-for-pardon" probe 🔽
"A billionaire San Francisco real estate developer, Sanford Diller, enlisted their help in securing clemency for a Berkeley psychologist, Hugh L. Baras" —

Whose name, let the record show, ends with an "s."

cc: @SollenbergerRC, who got that right.
As for which S-ending name it was, it goes to show that internet guesswork tends to be wrong. It's better to pursue firsthand information or wait for the story to develop.

The same plaintiffs and lawyer who tried and failed to block certification of Michigan's election are back in court again now requesting an audit.

Their last case peddled a Dominion conspiracy theory affidavit:

Covering the courts for more than a decade, this is the first time that I encountered a federal judge talking about a "Bribery-for-pardon scheme" in a heavily redacted document—or any document whatsoever.
There's a lot more to unpack here in my story going live shortly on @LawCrimeNews, but for now, I will leave you with the regular admonition to #AlwaysReadTheFootnotes.
To dispel the inevitable howl of conspiracy theorists "Why is this coming out now?"—

The answer is simple and was given when the order was secretly issued on Aug. 28 this year:

Judge Howell gave the government 90 days to produce an unsealed version of his opinion.
