Former President Donald Trump falsely claimed that he had to post a bond to appeal a civil fraud judgment against him, and also falsely accused Judge Arthur Engoron of unusual actions. However, the requirement to post a bond during the appeal process is standard under New York state law and not a result of any unusual decision by Engoron. Trump's repeated claims were debunked, and there is no evidence to support his accusations against the judge.
Donald Trump's lawyers have requested a 30-day delay in the enforcement of a $350 million civil fraud judgment against him, citing concerns with the proposed judgment drafted by the New York Attorney General's office. The judgment, issued by New York Supreme Court Justice Arthur Engoron, requires Trump to cover the judgment using a significant portion of his wealth and bars him and his sons from serving as officers or directors in any New York corporation. Trump plans to appeal the ruling, which found him and his company liable for defrauding banks and insurance companies by misrepresenting his net worth.
