The RNC and Trump’s legal fees
By Joe Alton
Former president Donald Trump has the Republican nomination in the bag despite various legal woes, the latest being a New York civil judgment against him to the tune of 355 million dollars. Add in interest, and you have the presumptive nominee more than 400 million in the hole. That’s not counting an addition 83-million-dollar federal judgment in a previous civil case against E. Jean Carroll.
Despite his legal issues, the former president has probably never had more influence in the GOP than he has today. With current Republican National Committee (RNC) chairwoman Ronna McDaniel offering to relinquish her position, Trump’s endorsement of Michael Whatley and Lara Trump cement his full control of the party.
For Trump supporters, this is as it should be, but what about the consequences of losing his various legal cases? I’m not talking about the criminal cases pending, as most are likely to be resolved after the election. Right now, I’m referencing the recent civil judgments.
Trump’s empire has always been real-estate heavy, and that’s a very non-liquid form of investment. Does he have 400-500 million lying around? When does he have to pay? Is interest on the judgment accruing as we speak? These aren’t rhetorical questions.
