Donald Trump still hasn’t posted bond in his New York civil fraud trial, but his lawyer Alina Habba wants you to know that it’s definitely not because they’re having trouble getting the massive amount together.
The former president was fined $354 million for committing real estate–related fraud in New York. In order to appeal the decision, Trump must post a bond of the full amount plus interest—which has already reached nearly $467 million, with interest adding $112,000 per day.
When asked Wednesday if Trump was any closer to posting bond, Habba had a very clear answer that raised no red flags.
“Yeah, no, unfortunately I can’t speak to that. That’s privileged, and I am the attorney, one of the attorneys on that case,” Habba told Fox News, stating the obvious.
She quickly pivoted to attacking the case altogether, calling the judgment “absurd” and expressing hope that an appeals court would overturn it.
Don’t worry guys we all know trump is a “billionaire” he will easily post this bond without needing an insurance company to bail him out. I’m sure he’s probably got 450m just laying around in boxes at maralago. We all know he’s super fancy and rich and has big hands.
Didn’t he say at one point that part of his net worth was the value of his name? Maybe he can just sell that, and we can legitimately start calling him by one of the popular aliases.
Yeah sadly I think ‘Benito the Cheeto’ is off the table, due to trademark.
