Former President Donald Trump has been granted a reprieve as an appeals court cut the $454 million bond he was required to post in his New York civil fraud case on Monday. 

The court reduced the massive amount drastically to $175 million, which is a reduction of almost 62%, and has given him a deadline of 10 days to come up with the funds. 

Now the 45th president must either post the full amount or post a bond for the amount as he seeks to appeal the immense judgment ordered against him last month. 

“There should be no FINE,” Trump, posted on Truth Social earlier Monday, repeating he “did nothing wrong!”

“Why should I be forced to sell my ‘babies’ because a CORRUPT NEW YORK JUDGE & A.G. SET A FAKE AND RIDICULOUS NUMBER.”

Meanwhile, Trump’s attorneys have repeatedly said throughout the case they couldn’t secure a bond and didn’t want to sell his properties at “fire sale” prices to come up with the funds. 

Additionally, New York Attorney General Letitia James said she would not hesitate to seize his prized New York property if Trump did not come up with the money. 

This comes after Trump was required to show up to a Manhattan court on Monday in the “hush money” case involving adult film star Stormy Daniels. 

For now, Trump has a few options for how he can deal with the Monday deadline including, attempting to protect his assets by filing for chapter 11 bankruptcy, paying the bond, waiting to see if the appeals court will keep the set bond or let the deadline lapse, which would allow James to start going after his properties.

Trump has stated a series of posts on Truth Social over the last 24 hours claiming all four criminal cases and the civil fraud case against him are part of President Joe Biden’s alleged attempt to interfere with the 2024 election by carrying out “lawfare” against him. 

Furthermore, the former president also faces a criminal case in Georgia for alleged election fraud in the Peach State, a case accusing him of allegedly hoarding government documents from Mar-a-Lago and he faces a case in Washington D.C. for his alleged involvement in the events that took place at the Capitol on January 6th.

Former President Donald Trump was handed a major legal victory in the Georgia election fraud case against him.

On Wednesday, Fulton County Judge Scott McAfee granted Trump the right to appeal his ruling that allowed District Attorney Fani Willis (D-Ga.) to stay on the case. 

This comes after Trump and seven other co-defendants have sought to boot Willis off the case. Trump did not have an automatic right to appeal before the start of the trial. 

The defendants must now wait to hear whether the appeals court will agree to hear the case, effectively delaying the next trial from being scheduled.

One of the 45th president’s lawyers, Steve Sadow, called McAfee’s Wednesday decision “highly significant,” adding that he is hopeful their appeal will win.

“The defense is optimistic that appellate review will lead to the case being dismissed and the DA being disqualified,” he added.

“The Court intends to continue addressing the many other unrelated pending pretrial motions, regardless of whether the petition is granted within 45 days of filing, and even if any subsequent appeal is expedited by the appellate court,” McAfee wrote in his ruling.

Meanwhile, the 45th president and his co-defendants are hoping to take Willis and the rest of her team off the case due to Willis’s past-romantic relationship with prosecutor Nathan Wade, who has since resigned from the case after the judge allowed her to stay on as long as he stepped down.

Additionally, Trump and the rest of his co-defendants are hoping to get the entire case thrown out and the charges tossed entirely. Trump’s team has said that the romance between Wade and Willis was a clear conflict of interest, which Willis has adamantly denied.
