Former U.S. President Donald Trump attends the Trump Organization civil fraud trial, in New York State Supreme Court in the Manhattan borough of New York City, October 25, 2023. A judge ordered Donald Trump's company Thursday to inform a court-appointed financial watchdog about any efforts to obtain an appeal bond. His lawyers have said that more than 30 surety companies rejected writing a bond for Trump because they would not accept real estate as collateral. Trump has asked the appeals court to pause the judgment from taking effect without having to secure a bond. 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."

Attorneys for Donald Trump on Wednesday said the former president and his co-defendants plan to post a $100 million bond to pause enforcement of their civil fraud judgment — though that is just a fraction of the total amount that they have been ordered to pay. To secure a "complete" appeal bond — which could cost more than $550 million — would be "impossible," the defense lawyers wrote in a court filing to the appellate division of Manhattan Supreme Court. Engoron ordered the defendants to pay a total of $464.6 million in fines and interest. Trump's total was more than $454 million, which includes more than $98 million in pre-judgment interest. In this case, the bond could be worth upwards of $550 million.

Read previewNEW YORK (AP) — Donald Trump has appealed his $454 million New York civil fraud judgment, challenging a judge's finding that Trump lied about his wealth as he grew the real estate empire that launched him to stardom and the presidency. Trump's lawyers wrote in court papers that they're asking the appeals court to decide whether Engoron "committed errors of law and/or fact" and whether he abused his discretion and/or his jurisdiction. Among other penalties, the judge put strict limitations on the ability of Trump's company, the Trump Organization, to do business. Engoron ordered Trump to pay $355 million in penalties, but with interest the total has grown to nearly $454 million. If Trump is unsuccessful at the Appellate Division, he can ask the state's highest court, the Court of Appeals, to consider taking his case.

But first, he has to secure a bond — and that might not be so easy. Unless he wants to pay the entire penalty while his expected appeal is considered, Trump will need to post an appeal bond. At that rate, Trump's original ruling with interest would indicate he will need to secure a bond worth more than $540 million. It's "not very attractive to take real estate as collateral," said Neil Pedersen, owner of New York-based surety bond agency Pedersen & Sons. Trump could have to liquidate some assets to secure a bond, said Pedersen.

NEW YORK (AP) — A New York appeals court judge on Thursday paused a gag order that barred Donald Trump from commenting on court staffers in his civil fraud trial. In his decision, Judge David Friedman of the state’s intermediate appeals court cited constitutional concerns about restricting Trump’s free speech. He issued a stay of the gag order, allowing Trump to comment freely about court staff while a longer appeals process plays out. Trump’s lawyers filed a lawsuit against the trial judge, Arthur Engoron, late Wednesday challenging the gag order as an abuse of power. Trump's lawyers — who, separately, sought a mistrial Wednesday — contend that Engoron's orders are unconstitutionally suppressing free speech, and not just any free speech.

The judge overseeing Trump's fraud trial imposed a partial gag order on Trump's lawyers. AdvertisementAdvertisementThe judge overseeing former President Donald Trump's fraud trial in New York expanded an existing gag order to bar Trump's lawyers from commenting on confidential communications between the judge and his staff. Judge Arthur Engoron's wider gag order came after Trump's lawyers made what the judge characterized as "on the record, repeated, inappropriate remarks" about his law clerk. They "falsely [accused] her of bias against them and of improperly influencing the ongoing bench trial," Engoron wrote.

Senior advisor to the President Ivanka Trump listens during a rally in support of Republican incumbent senators Kelly Loeffler and David Perdue ahead of Senate runoff in Dalton, Georgia on January 4, 2021. A New York appeals court on Thursday denied a request by Ivanka Trump to avoid testifying in the $250 million fraud trial of her family and its business empire. The ruling means Ivanka Trump must appear in Manhattan Supreme Court on Wednesday, as previously ordered. Ms. Trump's two adult brothers, Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump, both testified this week, with Eric returning to the stand Friday morning. Trump Sr., Trump Jr. and Eric remain co-defendants.

Ivanka Trump asked a New York appeals court to pause the $250 million fraud trial of her family and its business empire as she appeals a judge's order requiring her to testify in the case next week. New York Attorney General Letitia James urged the appeals court to reject that request, calling it a "drastic" and baseless move that "would upend an ongoing trial." Ivanka Trump was originally listed as a co-defendant as well, but she was removed earlier this year on statute of limitations grounds by a New York appeals court earlier. In Thursday's filing to the appeals court, Ivanka's attorney argued that she is "beyond the jurisdiction" of Engoron's court and that the judge made "multiple errors" when he declined to quash subpoenas for her testimony. Ivanka Trump "has firsthand knowledge of issues that are central to the ongoing trial," James wrote.

Former President Donald Trump wants a New York judge to dismiss the criminal case against him charging that he falsified business records relating to hush money payments, arguing prosecutors waited too long to bring their case. "The delay has prejudiced President Trump, interfered with his ongoing presidential campaign, and violated his due process rights," the filing by Trump attorneys Todd Blanche and Susan Necheles contends, and the charges should therefore be dismissed. That information was hush money paid to two women who claimed to have had affairs with Trump. In their filing, Trump's lawyers contended it was accurate. Trump has pleaded not guilty in both federal cases and denied wrongdoing in the AG's civil case.

Former U.S. President Donald Trump speaks during a rally ahead of the midterm elections, in Miami, Florida, U.S., November 6, 2022. Attorney General Letitia James applauded the two-page ruling issued by the state Supreme Court Appellate Division's First Judicial Department. The five-justice panel ruled that Trump's contempt fine for not complying with a subpoena for the records was a "proper exercise" of the Manhattan Supreme Court Judge Arthur Engoron's discretionary power. "Once again, the courts have ruled that Donald Trump is not above the law," James said. In addition to huge financial damages, James' suit to seeks to permanently bar Trump, Donald Trump Jr., Eric Trump and Ivanka Trump from serving as an officer of a company in New York, and permanently bar the Trump companies named as defendants from doing business in New York state.
