Trump’s Civil Fraud Trial in New York

Letitia James had asked a court to reject the bond that Donald J. Trump posted in his civil fraud case. A deal on Monday will keep the terms of the bond largely unchanged.

The former president has trotted out a host of false and misleading claims to defend his conduct, attack judges and prosecutors and portray himself as a victim of political persecution.

Why civil litigation against Trump has been more successful and might be a less fraught way to pursue accountability for the country.

How the former president’s legal troubles might affect his campaign.

If there seems to be a different set of rules for the former president, that’s because, for all intents and purposes, there is.

One court offered Donald J. Trump a financial lifeline. Another set him on a path to prosecution. It was a taste of what America will experience until the November election.

The former president was racing to secure a half-billion-dollar bond, but an appeals court lowered the amount. The surprise decision may help him stave off financial disaster.

If no one will post a bond guaranteeing Donald Trump’s financial obligation, New York’s attorney general can start trying to seize his accounts and properties.

With a deadline on Monday to secure a $454 million bond in his civil fraud case, Donald Trump’s campaign emails have claimed Democrats are trying to seize his marquee property.

Real estate experts say that getting a judgment is a lot easier than foreclosing on a major piece of real estate. And pinning a value to Trump’s buildings is a guessing game.
