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 lost his ability to do business in one state, which likely just means he’ll do it by proxy

        He has a deadline of 30 days to pay, and in order to appeal he first has to put 110% of the amount owing in escrow.
