What Happens If Trump Doesn’t Post Bond by Monday?

March 23, 2024 at 9:43 am EDT By Taegan Goddard Leave a Comment

Washington Post: “The appeals court generally issues rulings on Tuesdays and Thursdays, so there is very little chance it will act by Monday on Trump’s request to waive the bond requirement. If it doesn’t, and if Trump doesn’t post a bond by then, legal experts say there is nothing preventing James from calling on the New York City sheriffs or on city marshals to begin seizing his assets.”

“But there are reasons for her to wait. Legal experts say Trump has a chance of getting some type of relief from the appeals court. If James begins moving on his assets before the court rules, she may have to backtrack afterward. She also may consider the optics of moving quickly…”

“James could decide to move against Trump on multiple fronts, which would make for an unprecedented showdown with the GOP nominee for president. She could start by issuing a subpoena to learn more about what assets he has and where they are located, but she may not need to since she already knows — from information surfaced in the fraud case — where much of his wealth resides. New York City marshals could go to Trump’s banks and drain his accounts at her behest.”
