29. Does it have to be public who is paying the fees for Trump's lawyers?

I know that if he is nominally paying them himself, he could just say he will and then never pay (and he's in a really neat position for that now - after representing him in a ridiculous suit like this, no one part from true believer MAGAs will hire these lawyers again, so it's not like they risk their standing with MAGA by demanding payment from Trump). But it's possible they knew they'd never get out of that, so said someone else must pay them regularly.

Do the public get to know who?
