Even if Rudy Giuliani is just using the threat of cooperation with the 1/6 committee to get Trump to pay his legal bills, it's still a minor victory for the committee, bad news for Trump, and probably self defeating for Rudy.
Just to get the committee to say that Rudy is cooperating, he must have had to give them key evidence against Trump already. So now they get to use that evidence, whether Rudy flakes from here or not.
This would help the committee, and damage Trump, for obvious reasons.
It would also ensure Rudy is fairly quickly indicted for contempt, which would only make his legal bills even worse.

So if Rudy is so broke that he can't pay his legal bills to the end of the week, and is willing to get stuck with even bigger legal bills (and even more criminal charges) before much longer, just so he can pay his existing bills now, he must be REALLY be broke and desperate.
Even in this "worst case" scenario, the committee still gets some Rudy evidence against Trump, and Rudy goes to prison.
This would be a minor win for the committee, a loss for Trump, and a bad situation for Rudy.
And that would be the WORST outcome for the committee.
