Former New York City mayor and former personal attorney to Donald Trump, Rudy Giuliani, reportedly traveled to Mar-a-Lago earlier this year to appeal to Trump for financial assistance with his mounting legal fees. According to CNN, Giuliani and his lawyer, Robert Costello, met with Trump twice during their visit, where Trump verbally agreed to contribute towards Giuliani's legal bills, but did not specify the amount or provide a timeline for payment. Trump has a history of not paying his legal team, but it is believed that he may want to continue maintaining a positive relationship with Giuliani, especially in light of Giuliani's recent indictment in Fulton County, Georgia.

Giuliani is currently facing 13 charges, including racketeering, for his alleged involvement in efforts to overturn the 2020 election. With multiple ongoing lawsuits, including defamation cases and a suit over an anti-Biden documentary scam, Giuliani's legal expenses continue to grow while his financial situation deteriorates. During a recent hearing for a defamation lawsuit brought against him by voting technology company Smartmatic, Giuliani's attorney stated that Giuliani does not have the finances to pay for additional legal costs.

It remains to be seen whether Trump will follow through with his verbal promise to help Giuliani with his legal fees. With Giuliani potentially facing significant penalties and liabilities, his financial problems could continue to worsen as legal proceedings progress.
