    I hadn’t thought of it before, but since trump never paid Rudy, and Rudy lost his lawsuit…

    They can go after trump for the money even if Rudy doesn’t want them to.

        It’s not just a thought, it’s an actual legal thing…

        I just never thought of it till I saw the article.

        The money Rudy is owed is an assest, and he has to liquidate all his assets in an attempt to pay the judgement.

        Just like they can force a sale on his properties, they can force trump to pay Rudy and the money immediately goes to who he owes money to.

        Which would create a lot of friction if Rudy had been compensated some other way off the books and now trump would have to pay twice or throw himself under the bus disclosing the prior compensation, and if that’s what happened there’s a reason Rudy didn’t want it disclosed.
