A new report to the FEC shows President Trump's campaign has dumped about $8.8 million into its flailing efforts to overturn the results of the November election he lost. That includes about $2.3 million for legal services.

That's obviously a lot less than the $207 million Trump raised after the election, as he launched a blizzard of messages to his supporters seeking their help to overturn its outcome.
The details are interesting:
Trump's campaign paid $30k to Jenna Ellis. There's no record of money going to Giuliani, who reportedly wanted to be paid quite a lot.

And some of the firms making the most don't have an obvious role in Trump's post-election litigation.
The campaign paid $600k to Kasowitz Benson Torres LLP, Trump's former personal attorneys.
And it paid $161k to Marks & Sokolov LLC, a firm that specializes in Russia issues.

One other revealing fact: The Trump campaign's effort to overturn the November election in courts and state legislatures has spent nearly as much on text-message ads ($2.2m) as it has on lawyers ($2.3m).
