Former President Donald Trump asserted earlier this week that he is unable to secure a bond to cover his $450+ million civil fraud judgment but the New York attorney general made it clear on Wednesday that she's not buying it.
In a nine-page filing, Attorney General Letitia James urged an appeals court to disregard the former president's claim that he cannot obtain an appeal bond for the massive judgment after approaching 30 surety companies through four brokers. Seeking from the court a pause on the execution of the judgment or a steep drop in how much he must post, Trump's attorneys also argued that bond companies are generally not capable of underwriting such sums, and said the companies told Trump they are unable to accept real estate assets as collateral, according to The Washington Post.
