LawsuitDonald Trump has been ordered to pay all attorneys fees, legal expenses, and associated costs after a New York judge threw out his court case against The New York Times and his niece, Mary Trump.
The famously litigious Trump filed suit against the paper, three reporters, and his niece in 2021. He alleged they planned an insidious plot to collect his financial records for an extensive story on how he avoided paying taxes, according to The Daily Beast. Mary Trump sued that same year to have the case dismissed.
The story took 18 months to research and won the prestigious 2019 Pulitzer Prize in Explanatory Writing. The prize board said the work debunked Trumps claims of self-made wealth and revealed a business empire riddled with tax dodges.
Court documents claimed that Mary Trump worked with the paper to smuggle records out of her attorneys office and turn them over. She revealed in her book, Too Much and Never Enough, that she was the Times source for the story.

Seriously, where is he getting the funds to pay all of his bills?
I imagine all attorneys fee, legal expenses, and "associated costs" could amount to a sizable sum.
