Trump's lawyers keep fighting $454M fraud appeal bond requirement

Former President Donald Trump’s lawyers are continuing to press appellate court to excuse him from covering a $454 million civil fraud judgment while he appeals. Trump lawyer Clifford Robert says in a letter to the court Thursday that the requirement is “patently unjust, unreasonable and unconstitutional." It’s the latest in a flurry of down-to-the-wire arguments and counterarguments that New York state lawyers and attorneys for the presumptive Republican presidential nominee are making as a deadline looms Monday. That's when New York Attorney General Letitia James can start taking steps to collect the massive sum — unless the appeals court intervenes.
