Trump fears he may have to ā€œsell Great Assets, perhaps at Fire Sale pricesā€

Former President Donald Trump lashed out at the judge who imposed a $450+ million penalty in his New York fraud case after his lawyers admitted he was unable to secure a bond to appeal the case.

Trumpā€™s lawyers on MondayĀ askedĀ a New York appeals court to stay the enforcement of the judgment in his fraud case, saying it has been impossible to secure a bond necessary to appeal the judgment after approaching 30 different underwriters.

The former president lashed out at the judge on Truth Social after the filing.

ā€œEngoron wants me to put up the ridiculous fine (I DID NOTHING WRONG!) before I get a chance to Appeal his crazed ruling - A first!ā€ Trump falselyĀ wrote. New York lawĀ requiresĀ a defendant to put up the full judgment amount with interest in order to appeal a civil judgment.

    But I just saw Bezosā€™s ex-wife drop $680M to charities like it was nothing. Surely he, as a billionaire, could just drop that money too, right? I mean he only owes 2/3 of that amount, so itā€™s even less for him.
