Letitia James contended the former president failed to demonstrate that the company behind his bond had the resources to pay it if his appeal failed.

Letitia James contended the bond company may not have enough resources to pay.

Lawyers for the New York Attorney General asked Judge Arthur Engoron on Friday to reject former President Donald Trump’s $175 million bond for his civil judgment and require him to post a new one within seven days.

Letitia James contended that the former president failed to demonstrate that Knight Specialty Insurance Company, the company behind his bond, had the resources to pay the bond if Trump’s appeal failed.

…

In February, Engoron determined that Trump and his co-defendants engaged in a decade-long scheme to inflate the former president’s net worth to get better business deals and interest rates on loans.

    4/22 will be a very bad day for the trumpster. They will reject that bond and he is screwed. Plus the criminal trial starts fully that he must attend.

      How many times will they just keep letting him slide? I’ll actually be way more surprised if he suffers any real repercussions.

        All of the times. Every single one of the times.

        I swear, I need to stop reading any article about how he’s going to get his comeuppance because they’ve all been treating him with kid gloves. At least the juror pool in the fraud trial got to give him the dunking-on that he deserves at the very minimum, and hopefully we’ll see at least a shrewd of actual justice there.
