"If Trump does not post his bond before Monday, James can begin seizing his assets, which include iconic New York proper [View all]

umm.. I thought he had all day Monday to mess around.
I wonder if this is right--that Trump only has until Midnight--tonight Sunday to post bond?
Anyone is the know??



The case’s core allegations threatened several areas #Trump takes particular pride in. It struck at the heart of his reputation as a savvy deal-maker and wealthy businessman, which helped propel him into a successful run for the White House in 2016

Trump spirals as bond deadline in fraud case nears

The eye-popping judgment against former President Trump in his New York fraud case has laid bare his precarious financial status, a matter that has sent the notoriously incensed real estate mogul off the rails.

In Truth Social posts, Trump has laid out mini diatribes lambasting the judge and attorney general in the case, claiming they want to swindle him out of precisely the amount of cash he has on hand to the tune of half a billion dollars.

Trump is known for his online rants and raucous rallies that frequently whip up his base, but the $454 million bond he must pay — or face the possibility of his assets being seized — appears to have sent the former president over the edge. .................................


His campaign funds helped him mount a legal defense in the fraud case, in addition to the four criminal cases he also faces. Trump’s fundraising committees doled out roughly $50 million for legal consulting fees in 2023. His fraud trial lawyers — Chris Kise, Alina Habba and Clifford Robert — were among the highest paid.

However, campaign donations can’t help him front the cost of the multimillion-dollar judgment he now faces.

If Trump does not post his bond before Monday, James can begin seizing his assets, which include iconic New York properties such as 40 Wall Street and Trump Tower. .....................
