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.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


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

    One option for Trump is getting the Republican National Committee (RNC) to help pay for his defense.

    While it wouldn’t be the ideal time to ask the cash-strapped party for money, that’s what his GOP presidential nomination rival Nikki Haley recently speculated he might do.

    The ex-president could also look to take more money from small donors for his “Save America” leadership political action committee (PAC), per Bloomberg.

    But the leading Republican candidate is also facing huge legal penalties as the run in to the presidential election ramps up.

    As his financial and legal woes mount, Trump made a surprise appearance at “Sneaker Con” in Philadelphia on Saturday.
