Judge orders Trump company to tell financial watchdog about efforts to get appeal bonds
A judge ordered Donald Trump's company Thursday to inform a court-appointed financial watchdog about any future efforts to obtain an appeal bond. Judge Arthur Engoron's order came three days after Trump's lawyers said in a court filing it has been "impossible" for the former president to get such a bond for a civil fraud case he lost. Trump was seeking the bond to prevent New York's attorney general from collecting on a $454 million civil fraud judgment against him while he appeals the verdict in Manhattan Supreme Court. His attorneys said more than 30 surety companies rejected Trump's request for a bond. Attorney General Letitia James can begin seizing Trump's properties next Monda
