Trump has been unable to get bond for $464 million judgment, his lawyers say
www.nbcnews.com
In a filing to an appeals court, Trump's attorneys said getting the bond needed to halt proceedings while they appeal is a "practical impossibility."

I’m sure we all hate to see it.

      He already has RNCs money and needs it for legal fees. Why blow precious spare cash paying debts?

      And no mention of him approaching the RNC; that’s odd.

      Didn’t the judge specify that funds couldn’t come from political party or campaign funds?

      Or was that a different one of the cases he has been found guilty in?

    Lmao, from an NPR article on the same topic:

    They filed an affidavit from an insurance broker saying it is “not possible” to find a bond that big. The broker was an expert witness for Trump during the trial.

    The trial judge already noted in his decision that this broker was a “close personal friend” of Trump’s and had a financial interest in the outcome. A decision could come from the appeals court later this week.

    I’m sure the judge will give the broker’s opinion all the deference it’s due. /s
