Former President Donald Trump's legal fees have surged as he faces a civil fraud trial with a nearly half a billion dollar bond due on Monday. An elaborate PAC scheme has been utilized to assist in covering these costs. Conversations with Republicans reveal that donors are increasingly frustrated with requests for funds to pay for Trump's legal bills. Notably, billionaire hedge fund founder John Paulson and oil and gas magnate Harold Hamm have been involved in a behind-the-scenes effort to help provide money towards the bond. Major Republican donors have collaborated to fund the original bond amount needed to cover Trump's $454 million civil fraud judgment before the deadline.
