Trump infighting risks rise as allies face legal bills, cash crunch
Justice,Politics,Donald Trump,Allies
The multiplying charges brought against allies of former President Trump and their mounting legal fees are creating consternation in Trump world β 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.
The growing bills have already prompted complaints that Trump isnβt footing the bill.
