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.

- 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.
