The LA company that underwrote Trump's $175M appeal bond needs major vetting, NY says.
Judge Arthur Engoron, who presided over Trump's civil fraud trial, gets final say over the bond.
AdvertisementThe New York Attorney General's Office wants a closer look at Donald Trump's $175 million appeal bond.
In a two-page court filing Thursday, state officials are giving Trump or his underwriters — the Knight Specialty Insurance Company — ten days to "justify," or prove the sufficiency of, the bond.
Justifying was not necessary, for example, when Trump used insurance giant Chubb to post a $92 million bond last month for his E. Jean Carroll defamation appeal.
