D.C.'s Lawsuit Against Donald Trump Ends At A Huge Cost

Former President Donald Trump has become known for his legal troubles. His battles within the courts started as early as a few months after he took office (via Rolling Stone). He forked over $25 million to settle legal charges against Trump University, which scammed students out of millions of dollars. His legal woes from within the White House walls didn't end there. Soon after, he had to pay $2 million for shady dealings under the name of his charitable organization.

Once Trump was voted out of office, his legal issues only worsened. According to the BBC, he's facing several lawsuits. From his alleged role in the January 6th Capitol riots to claims that funds for his 2017 inauguration were misused, Trump is in deep with the American justice system.

While there is a chance he could face jail time, it's more likely that these court cases will end with hefty fines paid by the former president. Recently, one of these lawsuits came to a close with a giant price tag attached.

D.C. Non-Profits Will See Thousands In Cash From Trump's Settlement

When Former President Donald Trump left the White House in 2020 he was involved with 29 lawsuits (via the Independent). The outlet reports that Trump has allegedly faced an alarming total of 4,000 cases, two impeachments and divorces, six bankruptcies, and 26 allegations of sexual assault. If he is indicted on criminal charges in any of these cases, he would be the first president in history to do so.

My bet is that it was was more than $750,000.

So this isn't some huge cost - just the cost of doing crooked business. Fuck the MSM and letting these crooks piss on us and tell us that it's raining. TFG is laughing all the way to the off-shore bank.

And he's having to pay back thousands. I'm not sure what the "Huge Cost" being referred to in the headline is, but I don't think it applies to the former guy.
