A New York judge ordered former President Trump to post $454 million on Monday following his months-long non-jury civil trial, which he is appealing.
Former President Trump was ordered to post $454 million by the end of Monday following his months-long, non-jury civil trial. But what the 2024 GOP presumptive nominee will do remains unclear amid his ongoing appeal to the state. The deadline for Trump to post the bond, according to New York Attorney Letitia James’ office, is the end of the day on Monday.
There was never an option to choose a jury trial,' a Trump spokesperson told Fox News Digital. 'It is unfortunate that a jury won’t be able to hear how absurd the merits of this case are and conclude no wrongdoing ever happened.' Trump and his family denied any wrongdoing, with the former president saying his assets had been undervalued.
Bartov testified last month that Trump’s financial statements did not violate accounting principles, and he suggested that anything problematic – like a huge year-to-year leap in the estimated value of his Trump Tower penthouse – was simply an error. 'My main finding is that there is no evidence whatsoever of any accounting fraud,' Bartov testified. Trump’s financial statements, he said, 'were not materially misstated.' FOX Business correspondent Lydia Hu contributed reporting.
