New York Court Slashes Trump’s Bail Amid Civil Fraud Trial

A New York court of appeals has reduced former President Donald Trump’s bail for his civil fraud trial from $454 million to $175 million. This adjustment follows Trump’s concerns about liquidating assets to meet the original sum.

Despite the reduction, restrictions on Trump, Jr., and family associates remain, barring them from corporate officer positions in New York.

Trump now faces a 10-day deadline to fulfill the new bail requirement. Meanwhile, Trump received a potential financial boost from a merger involving Truth Social, potentially adding $4 billion to his net worth. Amid ongoing legal battles, Trump denounces the trial as politically motivated, accusing allies of President Biden of weaponizing the justice system against him.
