Trump Lawyer Says He’s ‘Prepared’ to Pay Nearly $400 Million Bond to Appeal Fraud Judgment

‘They picked the wrong guy to pick on, in my opinion, because he’s strong, he’s resilient and he happens to have a lot of cash,’ said attorney Alina Habba.

A lawyer for Donald Trump said that the former president will pay the nearly $400 million bond required to appeal a fraud ruling in New York City.

“I can tell you what the rules are. Within 30 days, even if we choose to appeal this, and we will, we have to post the bond, which is the full amount and then some,” said Alina Habba during a Fox News interview on Feb. 19.
