Good morning, and welcome to The Epoch Times News Brief for Tuesday, April 23, 2024. I’m Bill Thomas, and today, we’ll dive into former President Donald Trump’s significant $175 million bond agreement, his call for peaceful protests amid the “hush-money” trial, a Supreme Court ruling on Texas voting laws, and its upcoming review of President Joe Biden’s “ghost gun” legislation.
We’ll begin with our first huge story today: some big money, and good news for Donald Trump.
President Trump and New York Attorney General Letitia James have reached an agreement on a $175 million bond in his New York civil case, which has been issued by Knight Specialty Insurance Company (KSIC). The bond is meant to secure President Trump’s compliance with a $454.2 million judgment won by Ms. James if he does not succeed in an appeal.
