California Billionaire Don Hankey Backs Trump's $175 Million Bond

Don Hankey, a California billionaire, steps in to support former President Trump by providing a crucial $175 million bond, facilitating Trump's appeal in a significant New York civil fraud case.

  • California billionaire Don Hankey provided a $175 million bond for Donald Trump, enabling him to appeal a massive New York civil fraud judgment.
  • Hankey's support comes as Trump faced potential asset seizure and financial strain from penalties exceeding half a billion dollars in two civil cases.
  • Despite initially indicating he could cover the bond himself, Trump's team reached out to Hankey, who agreed to back the new amount.
  • Hankey's involvement brings him national attention and could raise scrutiny if Trump is re-elected, given their financial relationship.
  • The bond allows Trump to retain his assets and buy time as he faces potential substantial judgments in ongoing legal battles.
