Former President Donald Trump is seeking comfort on social media after he was ordered to pay $464 million to meet bond on the appeal of his civil fraud conviction.
“If I weren’t running for President, and leading by a lot, none of this LEGAL LAWFARE would be happening,” Trump posted on his social media website, Truth Social, Tuesday morning. “ELECTION INTERFERENCE! MAGA!!!”
Last month, New York Supreme Court Judge Arthur Engoron ordered Trump to pay more than $350 million plus interest in damages for engaging in decades of fraudulent business practices under the Trump Organization.
Trump has appealed the decision; to stop his assets from being seized, he must post a bond totaling the full amount owed.
