Trump's bond in his civil fraud case reduced to $175 million by N.Y. appeals court

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: Melting Ice Slows Earth's Rotation, Affecting Time
  • A new study reveals that ice loss due to climate change has slightly slowed the Earth's rotation and could impact time measurement.

  • Researchers found that the melting of polar ice - a trend accelerated by human-induced climate change - has caused the Earth to spin less quickly than it naturally would.

  • The study suggests that human influence has disrupted a force that has been considered a constant for millennia, delaying the possibility of a 'negative leap second.'

  • Melting polar ice has counteracted the trend, postponing any decision on a negative leap second by three years.

Quick Glance: IVF Ruling and Abortion Debate in Alabama Election
  • As the Alabama election approaches, candidates focus on abortion and in vitro fertilization (IVF), with Republicans reinforcing support for IVF and Democrats opposing abortion restrictions.
