John Bolton, the former National Security Adviser, urged former President Donald Trump to utilize his personal wealth to cover his legal expenses in light of numerous criminal charges.<br /><br />What Happened: Bolton, in an interview on NewsNation, suggested that Trump should self-fund his legal defense. He questioned why individuals would contribute to a billionaire’s legal fund, expressing confusion over the attraction people have towards Trump “almost regardless of what he does.”<br /><br />"People who worry about whether poor Donald Trump's going to have enough money for campaign purposes and legal bills…he's a gazillionaire, ask him, he'll tell you frequently. He can spend a little of his own money," Bolton said.<br /><br />"Well it befuddles me why anybody would give a billionaire money to pay their own legal bills," he added.<br /><br />This came after Trump’s campaign confirmed that it raised $7.1 million since his arrest, including $4.18 million in a single day, marking the highest fundraising day of his campaign.
