11. It depends on how and for what purpose Trump raises the money.

If he pays for his legal expenses and judgements using political campaign contributions, that "appears to conflict with a federal ban on the personal use of donor dollars." However, Trump has already used tens of millions of dollars from campaign contributions to pay his legal expenses and gotten away with it.

Federal campaign law states: "Using campaign funds for personal use is prohibited...Commission regulations provide a test, called the 'irrespective test,' to differentiate legitimate campaign and officeholder expenses from personal expenses...personal use is any use of funds in a campaign account of a candidate (or former candidate) to fulfill a commitment, obligation or expense of any person...if the expense would exist even in the absence of the candidacy or even if the officeholder were not in office, then the personal use ban applies." This would apply to the Carroll suit.

It's not clear whether Trump could raise money through some other fundraising mechanism to satisfy the Carroll judgement. I guess the Saudis (or Putin) could funnel the money through some arcane business arrangement, much like the $2B given Jared disguised as an "investment."
