Joy Behar’s Trump Comment Stirs Fox News Debate With Alina Habba Over Whether Ex-President Would Accept Bond Money From Saudi Arabia Or Russia

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.TRUMP SAYS HE MIGHT SELL ASSETS TO SATISFY $464M BOND: After former Pres.

Habba’s answer, and that of any politician running for U.S. office, should have been a resounding, “No.” Instead, Trump’s lawyer was more etherial. “Well, there’s rules and regulations that are public,” Habba said. “I can’t speak about strategy, that requires certain things, and we have to follow those rules.” She quickly segued into a protest against what she called the “manifest injustice” of the ruling and “witch hunt.”Fox host asks whether Trump is trying to get his bond money from Saudi Arabia or RussiaTrump's lawyer says she can't answer that question.
