Donald Trump Wins Against Letitia James on Fight over $175M Bond
by Wendell Husebø
Former President Donald Trump won against New York Attorney General Letitia James in court Monday regarding a question surrounding the $175 million bond Trump posted in the civil fraud case.
James questioned if the surety company covering Trump’s $175 million bond was capable of fulfilling its obligation, but the judge rejected James, allowing the bond to stand.

On April 1, Trump posted a $175 million bond to prevent James from seizing assets after an appeals court ruled the former president could post the bond amount to cover a civil fraud judgment of $464 million.
The appeals court ruling guaranteed Trump could appeal the judgment. Arguments for the appeal are set for September.
