Former President Donald Trump has been granted an extension of 10 days to post his bond as he appeals a civil fraud judgment against him. The appeals court ruling also reduced the required bond amount to $175 million, down from the initial $464 million set by Judge Arthur Engoron.
Trump expressed his appreciation for the appellate court's decision, stating, 'I greatly respect the decision of the appellate court.' However, he criticized Judge Engoron, calling him a 'disgrace to this country' for his handling of the case.
Trump's legal battles extend beyond the civil fraud case, with a separate hush money case hearing taking place in New York. The former president's comments on the ruling reflect his ongoing legal challenges and his contentious relationship with the judiciary.
Despite the reduction in the bond amount and the extension granted by the appeals court, Trump's legal troubles continue to mount. The outcome of these cases will have significant implications for his financial and legal standing moving forward.
