Trump Struggles to Secure $454 Million Appeal Bond Ahead of Deadline

Former President Donald Trump faces a looming deadline to secure a $454 million appeal bond or pay the sum in cash, as underwriters refuse his requests.

  • Donald Trump has been unable to secure a $454 million bond to appeal a New York civil fraud ruling, with about 30 bond companies declining his request.
  • The appeal bond is required to guarantee payment of the judgment plus interest if Trump's appeal is unsuccessful.
  • Trump's inability to secure the bond raises the possibility of asset seizure by New York's attorney general, including properties like Trump Tower.
  • The state of New York sued Trump in 2022 for fraud, resulting in a $355 million judgment plus interest against him.
  • Trump claims his wealth is tied up in properties, making it difficult to meet the bond's requirements without selling assets at potentially low prices.
