After having his bond slashed from $454 million to $175 million, Donald Trump hailed the decision as having further exposed the political bias of New York Attorney General Letitia James and Judge Arthur Engoron, both Democrats, shattering their 'credibility.
After having his bond slashed from $454 million to $175 million, Donald Trump praised the decision as having further exposed the political bias of New York Attorney General Letitia James and Judge Arthur Engoron, both Democrats, shattering their "credibility."
A New York appeals court agreed Monday to hold off collection of Trump's $454 million civil fraud judgment — if he puts up $175 million within 10 days. If he does, it will stop the clock on collection and prevent the state from seizing his assets while he appeals. "I did nothing wrong, and New York should never be put in a position like this again. Businesses are fleeing, violent crime is flourishing, and it is very important that this be resolved in its totality as soon as possible."
Before the pause was granted, Trump had until Monday to pay before James could have asked a court to start seizing his assets, including prized real estate holdings like 40 Wall Street in Manhattan.
