Trump's $175 million bond, which would allow him to put seizures of his property on hold while he appeals the verdict that hit him with $454.2 million in damages earlier this year, was initially knocked by New York Attorney General Letitia James, who claimed its source — Knight Specialty Insurance Company — was not properly licensed in New York state.

Alina Habba, longtime attorney for former President Donald Trump, raged on Fox News Tuesday about the fact that Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg had the nerve to bring his hush money charges against the former president in Manhattan.

Donald Trump's behavior Tuesday was a major trade down from an opening day in his New York hush money trial that saw the former president dozing off in court, a legal expert contends.

On day two of jury selection in the first-ever criminal trial of a former president of the United States in Manhattan, Trump continued to make his argument that he was the victim of a politically motivated investigation by a Democratic district attorney and what he called a "Trump-hating judge," referring to Judge Juan Merchan, who is overseeing proceedings. While he intended to maintain his innocence while addressing reporters after walking out of Merchan's courtroom, he may have gotten himself in deeper trouble.

New York Attorney General Letitia James has been granted a hearing by state judge Arthur Engoron to challenge the $175 million bond former President Donald Trump posted in his civil fraud case.

In a new, brief order signed by Engoron, James was directed to present her case to the court on April 22 that the bond, posted by Knight Specialty Insurance Company, should not be accepted.

Alina Habba, an attorney for Donald Trump, said her client's concerns about jail would not stop him from potentially violating a judge's gag order.

Donald Trump's lawyers returned from the lunch recess Tuesday to declare that they'd discovered a number of social media posts from potential jurors that contradicted answers given during questioning, and claimed that some showed "hostility" toward the ex-president.
