"WTF": Alina Habba's answer raises alarms amid concerns Trump may need foreign money for legal bills

Trump attorney Alina Habba on Wednesday did not rule out the former president seeking out foreign money to pay his New York fraud judgment.

Trump’s inability to secure bond to appeal the $454 million judgment against him has raised questions about where he may get the money. “Nobody wants to lend him the money, in this country anyway. Who knows what’s going to happen with Russia and Saudi Arabia?” Joy Behar, the co-host of “The View,” said in a recent segment.

Fox News host Martha MacCallum asked Habba about the concerns on Wednesday.

“Is there any effort on the part of your team to secure this money through another country, Saudi Arabia or Russia?” she asked.

seems to have settled for neither.

Is she still on the case? I thought Donnie fired her after his last loss in New York. I need a spreadsheet to keep track of all these cases, rulings, and judgements.

Here in this alternate reality we find ourselves in it won't even cause a moments pause to his supporters. I will never understand that mindset. I know years of rightwing propaganda and constant gaslighting have caused them to think everything negative about Trump is fake news, but still.
