A proposal that would allow Florida officials to provide up to $5 million in public funds to former President Donald Trump to help finance his legal bills has been sidelined in the current legislative session.

Senate Bill 1740, authored by state Sen. Ileana Garcia (R-Miami) and supported by Florida Chief Financial Officer Jimmy Patronis, was withdrawn from consideration by lawmakers on Jan. 25. The measure would have created the Defending Freedom Fighters Trust Fund to pay presidential candidates up to $5 million for legal fees “incurred as a result of criminal charges brought by a U.S. public entity,” according to the text of the bill.

Patronis still wants to address issues raised by the bill in the next legislative session, Patronis’ communications director told the Florida Record in an email.
