An appeals court judge has denied former President Donald Trump’s bid to drop the over $450 million bond to $100 million in his civil fraud case. Trump also asked for the judgement to be placed on hold.
Trump had hinted that he does not have the money to stop the judgment from being enforced in a court filing earlier in the day. He requested that the financial penalty and several other penalties imposed earlier this month by Justice Arthur Engoron—who concluded that Trump had misrepresented the value of his personal wealth and real estate holdings—be placed on hold by an appeals court.
A full panel of the New York appeals court, known as the First Department of the Appellate Division, is anticipated to consider whether to halt the judgment while Trump pursues his appeal after Associate Justice Anil Singh’s interim ruling on Wednesday.
