A New York appeals court showed Donald Trump some mercy, allowing him to post a bond of $175 million in his civil fraud case — rather than half a billion — to ward off foreclosures while he appeals.
In a brief order, the First Dept. Court of Appeals agreed to pause enforcement of the most severe elements of the devastating February court decision finding Trump liable for fraud while he appeals it if he secures a portion of the money he’s been ordered to pay within 10 days.
