Former President Donald Trump posted $175 million bail in his New York civil fraud case, avoiding seizure of his assets while the case is on appeal.
The payment was made after a state appeals court ruled last week that the former president and his co-defendants had 10 days to pay the amount. This was reduced from the $464 million judgment that was originally due to be paid on March 25.
Before last week's ruling, Trump was responsible for $454 million, the bulk of the fraud judgment, but the amount he owed had been growing by more than $111,000 a day due to added interest.
