Concern about the fact that Donald Trump must post a $450 million-plus bond by Monday — and where he might get that money — prompted a curious debate with the ex-president’s lawyer on Fox News on Wednesday.
Earlier in the day on The View, Joy Behar worried about the risks posed by a financially-desperate Trump.
“I mentioned Saudi Arabia and Russia, they have motivation to give him money because then they will own him,” said Behar.

The House GOP leadership spent $40,000 on brand-new congressional lapel pins for each of its members.
Every two years, all 435 members of the House of Representatives and the six non-voting members, get new congressional pins which are a security measure.
Ever since 1975, the U.S. Capitol Police have been recognizing members by those pins since they serve as a memento of their time on Capitol Hill.
Spouses and family members are allowed to get similar, though not identical, pins to identify them.
“It’s a thing,” Rep. Sean Casten (D-Illinois) told HuffPost. “It’s a memento for members and spouses.”
Even though House lawmakers received new pins in 2023, they were still given new ones on January 10.
Democrats were fast in publicly calling out Republicans for wasteful spending.
“Every Congressional session we get a new pin – it’s our ID on the floor for the next 2 years,” Casten wrote on X. “Today we’re getting a new pin,...

Donald Trump has declared that if needed, he would consider serving as Speaker of the House for a “short period of time” as Republicans work to elect a new House Speaker to replace Kevin McCarthy, who was ousted Tuesday.
Multiple outlets previously reported the former president was mulling a trip to the Capitol ahead of a vote, amid calls from loyalists within the lower chamber. A source familiar with Trump’s recent private discussions told Rolling Stone that Trump has said that he’s open to the possibility of a speakership run.

Donald Trump is considering making a trip to the Capitol amid calls from loyalists within the lower chamber for him to assume the position of House Speaker. Such a visit would be the first time the former president has visited the building since a mob of his supporters breached it in a violent riot on Jan. 6, 2021.
Multiple outlets reported on Thursday that the former president is mulling a trip next week ahead of a vote, with Politico noting that he is open to pitching himself as a candidate, citing a Republican familiar with internal discussions.
