The former president has to post a $454 million bond by Monday or his assets will be seized by the New York attorney general.
New York Attorney General Letitia James can target any of former President Donald Trump's assets from "across the world" in order to pay the $454 million judgment he owes, according to lawyer Renee Zaytsev on Saturday.
In February, Judge Arthur Engoronordered Trump to pay $355 million, plus interest, and barred him from doing business in New York for three years after finding him liable for financial fraud in September 2023 in a lawsuit brought on by James' office. Trump, the presumed GOP presidential nominee in the 2024 election, has claimed that he has done nothing wrong and that the case is politically motivated against him. He has appealed Engoron's judgment.
Meanwhile, the former president has until Monday to come up with a $454 million bond to stop James from seizing his assets in order to pay Engoron's judgment.
MSNBC's Katie Phang asked Zaytsev onThe Katie Phang Show on Saturday about what James could do if Trump can't come up with the bond.
If a man is despised by his hometown, you'd think that would be a huge red flag for voters. Also the fact that a bunch of southern rednecks who despise city people and northerners, got behind a Manhattan real estate developer, and believe he's one of them.
Spy magazine back in the late '80s and early '90s was basically an NYC magazine and they used to mercilessly rip on Trump. Every year they did a "Top 10 Worst People, Places or Things" list and he was always on it. One year, the only mitigating factors in his favor were his offer to pay for the funeral of a child killed by a bear (which he probably reneged on) and the fact that he didn't run for office.
They also did a prank once where they sent checks for tiny amounts to millionaires to see who would cash them. Trump survived the first round by cashing a check (that he actually hand-endorsed) for something like $1.30, and he was one of two recipients to cash the last round of checks for 13 cents. Dude has been the exact same bit of trash for his entire life.
