Attorney General Asks Court Not to Consider ‘Impossibility’ of $464 Million Trump Bond

The state suggested that the court could infer that the Trump properties ‘are not nearly as valuable as defendants claim,’ and that’s why he can’t get a bond.

New York Attorney General Letitia James’s office on March 20 asked the appellate division of the New York Supreme Court to throw out several arguments made by former President Donald Trump as he seeks to stay enforcement of more than $350 million in penalties while he appeals.

“The Court should not consider defendants’ new allegations and arguments—which contend that a full bond or deposit is a ‘practical impossibility,’” the letter to the court reads.
