Trump posts $175 million bail in fraud case. Former US President Donald Trump has posted a security deposit in the civil lawsuit for business fraud.
This prevents a seizure of assets for the time being. Trump and his sons were found guilty of artificially inflating the assets of their real estate empire over the years in order to obtain favorable conditions from banks and insurance companies. Trump was sentenced in February to a fine of around $355 million plus interest, which totaled around $454 million. Trump, who wants to run for the Republicans again in the 2024 US election in November, appealed the ruling.
