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.

Fox News anchor Martha MacCallum put the question directly to Trump lawyer Alina Habba later in the day.
“Is there any effort on the part of your team to secure this money through another country, Saudi Arabia or Russia as Joy Behar seems to think?” MacCallum asked.
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.”

Behar and MacCallum aren’t the only ones asking the question.
