How much is Trump’s property empire worth and what could Letitia James seize if he doesn’t pay fraud bond?

Donald Trump has been granted an extra 10 days to pay a $175m bond in the New York fraud case against him, granting the Republican presidential candidate an important reprieve on the day the full $464m judgement against him had been due.
