Quick Glance: Trump Agrees to New Restrictions on $175 Million Bond in New York Civil Fraud Case

  • James had challenged the bond this month, saying Trump still had access to the Charles Schwab account pledged to the insurer as collateral.

  • Justice Arthur Engoron imposed the penalty after finding that Trump fraudulently inflated his net worth and real estate assets to deceive banks and insurers into providing better terms.

  • Trump defended the bond in court, emphasizing that he has plenty of money to put up for it.

Quick Glance: Trump Faces Landmark Trial Over Hush Money Case
  • Donald Trump will go down in history as the first former president to stand trial in Manhattan on criminal charges. The historic case revolves around a potential sex scandal cover-up just days before the 2016 elections.

  • The prosecution alleges that Trump falsified business records to hide hush money payments aimed at influencing the election outcome. Trump maintains his innocence and refutes any involvement with Stormy Daniels.

  • The trial will feature key witnesses from Trump's inner circle testifying against him, including Michael Cohen and David Pecker. It will delve into the Oval Office, where Trump allegedly approved the cover-up.

  • Prosecutors must prove that Trump falsified business records with intent to commit or conceal another crime. Trump's defense is likely to focus on the legality of the hush money payments and attempt to distance him from the accounting handled by his employees.
