Former American president Donald Trump, who is currently leading all polls for the Republican presidential nomination in 2024, faces major legal threats in four jurisdictions.

However, Trump is able to offset his massive legal bills through his adroit fundraising efforts. Other co-defendants, such as former New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani, who has worked a personal lawyer for Trump, aren’t as lucky.

Giuliani got indicted right next to Trump in an alleged racketeering scheme that attempted to overturn the 2020 presidential election in Georgia, a state that was surprisingly won handily by current president Joe Biden.

Giuliani, according to The New York Times, is running out of money. He recently trekked to Trump resort Mar-A-Lago in Florida for a face-to-face plea with the former president to foot some of his legal expenses.

Bernard B. Kerik, a former New York City police commissioner who worked under Giuliani as mayor and still supports Trump, faulted the people around the former president.

“I know the president is surrounded by a number of people that despised Giuliani even before the election, more so after the election, for his loyalty to the president and for their relationship,” Kerik told The Times. “It’s always been a point of contention for a number of people who I personally think didn’t serve the president well in the first place.
“Where is everybody? Where’s the campaign?”

Though Trump committed to helping Giuliani, that pledge came without any specific number or timeline. Trump then promptly hit the links, where he bragged about his 9-iron play on Truth Social.

The world was quick to react to the news:
