 Trump infighting risks rise as allies face legal bills, cash crunch
by Rebecca Beitsch and Brett Samuels - 08/23/23 6:00 AM ET

The multiplying charges brought against allies of former President Trump and their mounting legal fees are creating consternation in Trump world — while presenting a real risk to the former president.

Trump has burned through millions of dollars in donor money to pay for legal fees as he defends himself against charges in New York City, Florida, Georgia and Washington, D.C.

But the former president, who has built a reputation for stiffing workers, has shown no interest in providing financial aid to former aides charged over their efforts to keep him in power.

Former Trump attorney Rudy Giuliani has listed his Manhattan apartment for sale, and several Trump allies have launched crowdfunding campaigns to pay for their defenses.

Some of those who face charges in Georgia have been released on bond agreements totaling as much as $100,000.

Gee, and I wonder why this guy has a hard time attracting first-tier legal counsel....

If there is a miracle and Trump somehow were to win the election, he'd be scraping the absolute bottom of the barrel to fill all the appointments in his Administration.

Remember ... the first one to squeal gets the best deal.

That is going to bite him in the a$$ as more and more of those workers realize that their only real option is making a deal with the devil - the prosecution - which will inevitably involve giving evidence against Trump.

Trump is the devil ... Tangerine Mussolini corrupts everyone and everything he comes in contact with.

but to Trump and his online sycophants, that's all the more proof he's a victim.

Trump has a history of throwing people under a bus. He is his worst enemy and the sharks will circle him if they smell blood. Of course the opposition will take advantage of his indiscretions and folks who turn on him. More so since he's a disagreeable human, now more so!

Why take on a deadbeat for a client?  Trump has a long history of stiffing people, including his immediate family and ex wives.

People who have had to deal with him are either all-in or all-out. Few in between with a long trail of wreckage. If he were to win the election his administration would be made up of nothing but incompetent Kool-Aid drinkers because no one else would join his one man "team".

We blast the current administration for putting people in his cabinet that are nothing more than box checkers.

That would also apply to a Trump second term, except the only box they need to check is “unquestioning, unwavering loyalty”

Imagine how broke Trump will be come election time.

Trump Broke, over this? Not so long as there are plenty of people who donate to his campaign defense fund.

Interesting sidebar... This seems familiar to the Palin fad... Palin, who hardly can move the needle now.

I wonder how many of Tumy's adoring psychophants will love him five years from now...

Delay was a MAN. He stepped down to save the party the grief, and went on to fight the lawfare in court, where it belongs. A years long haul. Which he won.

Tumpy won't do that, claiming his martyrdom in the press, and risking the entire Right = Very likely costing us the upcoming election.

That's a self-centered POS.

I agree.. Something that a lot of anti-Trump people has been saying since 2015 and yet no one listened.

1) The Trump campaign has ramped up pressure on RNC Chair Ronna McDaniel to commit to fully funding Trump’s legal bills and those of his co-conspirators. As the campaign careens towards bankruptcy, Trump’s staff have demanded that funds be diverted from key races...

And they won't hear it, even yet.
