Former President Donald Trump will likely run out of legal defense funds this summer, Bloomberg reported.

In 2023, Trump spent $51.2 million on legal costs and has a further $23.5 million available for lawyers' fees — but that source of money will likely dry up around July, the report said.

The ex-president may now be forced to turn to a few undesirable options to cover his costs.

Putin will get the tab. Commentators in this thread aren’t seeing the big picture.

Why would he? He's running the whole GOP now. Surely he could find another tool to serve his needs without all of Trump's baggage.

Trump has zero baggage with the republican traitor filth. He is their Orange Calf.

He has almost half a billion dollars in baggage at the moment and Pooty ain't exactly flush right now.

Half a bil is nothing when it comes to reversing the outcome of the Cold War.

Putin is the richest man in the world. He has fleeced Russia for at least a trillion. Half a billion is nothing to him in exchange for controlling the US.
