On Thursday, Trump’s legal team formally asked a judge to sever his case from his co-defendants who want a speedy trial, according to court filings.
The prospect of a costly legal defense has prompted some defendants to find other ways to raise money.
Paying the legal bills of his co-defendants in Georgia could help the former president keep them all unified as they fight the Fulton County charges.
None of the defendants has pleaded guilty, but it is common for criminal defendants facing mounting legal bills to end their cases without the time-consuming costs of a trial.
