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.
