Judge orders Trump company to tell financial watchdog about efforts to get appeal bonds

Source: CNBC

Published Thu, Mar 21 2024 2:04 PM EDT Updated 18 Min Ago


A New York judge ordered Donald Trump’s company Thursday to tell a court-appointed financial watchdog about any future efforts to obtain bonds to secure a $454 million civil fraud judgment against the former president. Judge Arthur Engoron’s order came as Trump tries to avoid paying that judgment as he appeals the business fraud verdict in Manhattan Supreme Court.

Trump’s lawyers on Monday told an appeals court panel that it was “impossible” for him to bond that would prevent New York Attorney General Letitia James from collecting the judgment during his appeal. The attorneys said more than 30 surety companies rejected Trump’s request for an appeal bond.

James can begin seizing Trump’s properties next Monday to collect the judgment unless the appeals court grants him a waiver, or unless he manages to secure a bond or puts up real estate as collateral for the court. In his order Thursday, Engoron told the Trump Organization it must tell its financial overseer, Barbara Jones, “in advance, of any efforts to secure surety bonds.”

The company must tell Jones about any claims the Trump Organization makes to obtain the bonds, any personal guarantees by Trump or other defendants, and any condition imposed on the company.

agree to for the purpose of being able to report that no company would provide the bond. Trump could just be trying to lower the amount of the bond he has to pay.

The rejections from 30 companies most likely never actually happened. Just a whiny stalling tactic.
