Florida Republicans are promoting a new law that would pay former President Donald Trump’s myriad legal defense bills with public funds — to the potentially high-priced tune of several million dollars.

The proposed legislation, Senate Bill 1740, was introduced earlier this month by State Sen. Ileana Garcia, a Republican and longtime Trump stalwart who represents parts of Miami-Dade County.

The two-page bill would create a new section of the Sunshine State’s public campaign finance law to establish the “Defending Freedom Fighters Trust Fund.” The fund would allot “up to $5 million” that could be tapped by a “qualified person” if they are running for the U.S. presidency as a Florida resident and face criminal charges.
