Former President Donald Trump's bond in a New York City fraud trial was significantly reduced from $545 million to $175 million, just hours before it was due. Following this development, Trump issued a statement on Truth Social, emphasizing his compliance with the Appellate Division's decision, and his option to post either a bond, equivalent securities, or cash. Additionally, Trump was granted a 10-day extension to post the bond. In his statements, Trump criticized the legal actions against him as 'election interference,' attributing them to 'Biden and his thugs.' He specifically mentioned Judge Engoron's refusal to obey the Appellate Division's decision and questioned President Biden's awareness of the situation, suggesting Biden might not be cognizant of his actions.
