Former President Donald Trump has less than a week to secure a $464 million bond in his New York civil fraud case. Lawmakers weighed in on threats to seize his property.
Democrats on Capitol Hill don't have much sympathy for former President Trump as he struggles to come up with a $464 million appeal bond due in less than a week. 'He's broke, and he's willing to sell the country for a dollar in order to make whatever he needs for himself,' New York Democrat Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez told Fox News Wednesday.
New York Appeals Court judge late last month denied the 2024 GOP front-runner's request to delay payment of the $464 million owed as a result of Attorney General Letitia James’ civil fraud lawsuit. Trump has until Monday to secure an appeal bond. If he doesn't, James previously warned that she would move to seize his assets. Those could include prominent New York City properties like Trump Tower and 40 Wall Street. 'A jury of his peers has decided on this case,' said Rep.
Rep. Michael Cloud said that although he had not read all the details of the former president's case, the potential seizures rang alarm bells. 'We are seeing a that is weaponized, in many ways, against the American people, President Trump being a key target of that,' the Texas Republican said. To hear more from lawmakers, click here.
