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.

    He can’t appeal without bonding the full amount and nobody was willing to bond the 5 million he got hit with last year. Looks a lot like he just has to put up the cash.

      I can’t see him doing this… he’s going move money his money to somewhere he thinks the government can’t get it and declare bankruptcy.

      He’s gonna go full Alex Jones.

          Right… forgot about that. But I feel like that just limits his shenanigans and hes got a lifetime of experience at shenanigans. I dunno really, but I’m not betting against Trump’s crook skills.
