How Rudy Got Paid

New York Times: “It has been one of the enduring mysteries of the impeachment drama: Where did a cash-strapped Ukrainian-born American businessman get $500,000 to pay President Trump’s personal lawyer, Rudy Giuliani?”

“It turns out that the money came from a Long Island lawyer named Charles Gucciardo, a Republican donor and supporter of Mr. Trump. The payment was part of a deal in which Mr. Gucciardo would become an investor in a company started by the businessman, Lev Parnas.”

Divorce court layers claim he goes through $180,000/mo in personal expenses. He spends more than $2,000/mo on cigars. Business expenses including travel and support staff would add to that. So $500,000 is not that much money to Rudy. The divorce lawyers allege he made $790,000 per month last year.

All this work of traveling to Europe and the Ukraine and media interviews cost Trump. So my question would be: where did the rest of his money from Trump come from?
