NY appeals court: Trump's $175 million deadline
A New York appeals court has agreed to temporarily halt the collection of former President Donald Trump's $454 million civil fraud judgment. This pause is contingent upon Trump providing $175 million within 10 days. If he meets this condition, it will suspend asset seizure and collection efforts by the state while his appeal is pending. The decision came just before New York Attorney General Letitia James was set to initiate collection procedures. Trump's legal team had previously argued that securing a bond for such a large amount was practically impossible. The ruling was issued by the state's intermediate appeals court, the Appellate Division of the trial court, where Trump is contesting a judge's earlier finding that he misrepresented his wealth in building his real estate empire.
