A New York appeals court has given Donald Trump 10 more days to post his bond as he appeals the civil fraud judgment against him and cut the amount necessary to $175 million.
It’s a major lifeline for the former president, who, along with his adult sons and his company, were fined more than $464 million, including interest, after Judge Arthur Engoron found Trump and his co-defendants fraudulently inflated the value of his assets.
The ruling staves off the prospect, for now, of New York Attorney General Letitia James seeking to seize the former president’s property to enforce the judgment against him. Trump had been struggling to come up with the means to post a bond of more than $500 million, the total that he would have needed before Monday’s appellate decision.
…
The ruling stated that the $175 million bond will be in place until at least September, meaning James won’t be able to seek to enforce the judgment against Trump until then.
Why does Broke Don keep getting special treatment?
And he has 10 more days, at which point it’s likely to get moved back again.
If Trump had a couple ounces of pot he’d have been in jail this whole time.
Our justice system is fucked and neither party want to actually hold the rich accountable. Because the people who can do anything are rich.
We need to stop acting like some of these wealthy assholes have the average Americans best interest at heart.
Great, with that timing, should Letitia James go after his properties in Seotember, that will only help him drive supporters to the ballot box with the election so soon after.
His supporters would end up at the ballot box either way. They are dedicated to the brand.
