Former President Donald Trump, facing a nearly half a billion dollar bond due for his civil fraud trial, has reportedly garnered support from major Republican donors to cover the financial requirement ahead of the March 25 deadline. Notably, billionaire hedge fund founder John Paulson and oil and gas magnate Harold Hamm have been identified as part of the behind-the-scenes effort to fund the $454 million bond. This initiative comes as Trump's legal fees soar, with a PAC scheme and his 'old cast' being tapped to raise millions for his 2024 campaign and legal expenses. The concerted effort by some of the GOP's wealthiest backers underscores the financial and political complexities surrounding Trump's legal challenges.
