Trump's $454 million NY bond deadline is here |
The 30-day window for former President Donald Trump to post an appeal bond or place cash with a New York court is expected to expire on Monday, meaning New York Attorney General Letitia James could move to freeze up Trump's assets or seize his property very soon. |
The $454 million is a combination of interest and the money Judge Arthur Engoron determined last month that Trump got in better loan and insurance terms by fraudulently inflating the value of his assets over several years. | This photo illustration shows an image of former US President Donald Trump next to a phone screen that is displaying the Truth Social app, in Washington, DC, on February 21, 2022.

How the Supreme Court case on the abortion drug mifepristone could affect 2024 election |
The Supreme Court is expected to take up its first big abortion case since its divisive 2022 ruling in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization, which overturned Roe v. Wade and handed abortion rights to individual states to determine.
