Trump's bond in his civil fraud case reduced to $175 million by N.Y. appeals court
nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/ny-appeals-court-reduces-trumps-bond-civil-fraud-case-175-million-vict-rcna144659
Trump's bond in his civil fraud case reduced to $175 million by N.Y ...
Quick Glance: Appeals Court Decision Reduces Trump's Bond in Fraud Case
  • In the New York civil fraud case, it was determined that Donald Trump and his co-defendants now have 10 days to post a $175 million bond, compared to the original $464 million.

  • The late ruling from a panel of state Appellate Division judges, all appointed by Democratic governors, represents a significant victory and relief for the former president.

  • Trump's legal team had previously stated that obtaining the larger bond was practically impossible. The court's decision also temporarily prevents the New York Attorney General's office from enforcing the judgment.

  • Additionally, the court imposed a stay on the part of the initial judgment that restricted Trump from acting as a public officer of a company, as well as prohibitions on other individuals, although not all of Trump's requests were granted.

Quick Glance: Resignation Due to US Support for Israel

  • These resignations are the latest in a series of public protests against the Biden administration's support for Israel, leading to internal turmoil within the US State Department.

Quick Glance: Netanyahu's Struggle for Political Survival
  • Netanyahu has until Sunday evening to present a fix to Israel’s controversial conscription law, as his failure could also mean the end of his government.

  • The ultra-Orthodox conscription issue divides Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's government, risking new elections where Likud would likely suffer significant losses according to polls.

  • The political crisis in Israel could pave the way for Benny Gantz as the new Prime Minister, with differing views on Gaza's political future and a Palestinian state.

  • Possible scenarios for the crisis include mass conscription of ultra-Orthodox men, internal rebellion within Likud, and the race against time to find a solution before the looming government crisis.
