Letitia James Questions Donald Trump’s $175M Bond Deal, Judge Schedules Hearing

Wendell Husebø 5 Apr 2024

New York Attorney General Letitia James is questioning whether the surety company covering former President Donald Trump’s $175 million bond is capable of fulfilling its obligation.

On April 1, Trump posted a $175 million bond to prevent James from seizing assets after an appeals court ruled the former president could post the bond amount to cover a civil fraud judgment of $464 million.

The appeals court ruling guaranteed Trump could appeal the judgment.

The firm that underwrote the bond is Knight Specialty Insurance Company. The company essentially promised to cover the $175 million bond if Trump loses his appeal and fails to pay. Trump paid Knight Specialty Insurance Company a fee and pledged cash as collateral to obtain Knight Specialty Insurance Company’s coverage.

Someone should be questioning whether Letitia James will be able to come up with the interest she will owe on the bond if Trump wins his appeal.
