Where does the money come from to pay the lawyers for those criminal trials?New in PN: Trump's run-out-the-clock legal strategy worked

"With more than a little help from his friends, Trump’s delay tactics have been remarkably successful. He almost certainly won’t see the inside of another criminal courtroom before the election." https://t.co/2E00nEcL1O
Delay is only a useful legal tactic when your opponent is likely to cut its losses. Criminal trials don’t work that way. Delay is more likely to mean Trump runs out of money.
He’s relying on other people to pay his lawyers in no small part because New York State wants half a billion dollars in damages. And E. Jean Carroll wants almost $100 million. And estimates are his remaining trials and appeals will cost him $100 million or so in lawyers. And if he stiffs them, well…it’s easier for lawyers to walk away from an appeal than from a criminal trial.
