Trump wins delay on fraud penalty

Donald Trump had until Monday to post a $464m (£365m) penalty in order to continue with his appeal of a New York civil fraud ruling. With mere hours to go before that deadline expired, a judge granted him another 10 days to put up a reduced sum of $175m. The ruling also delays the enforcement of other penalties that are part of the original judgement, such as barring the former president and his eldest sons from running businesses in the city.

Is this delay an unexpected development?

Mitchell Epner, a lawyer who handles commercial litigation, said he was surprised by the court's decision to grant Mr Trump a stay. Just last week, Mr Trump said on social media that he had $500m in cash, an amount that would nearly cover collateral for a bond in the full amount. That comment undercut his argument that he could not secure a $464m bond, Mr Epner and other experts said.

So what happens next?

If Trump posts bond within 10 days, his assets are safe until the end of appeal.

"If not, I would not expect the Appellate Division to give former President Trump any further relief," Mr Epner told me.

How did Mr Trump react?

At a news conference, Mr Trump suggested he would post the new sum in cash, saying: "I don't need to borrow money - I have a lot of money."
