According to lawyers, President Trump is unable to pay a bond of $464 million in order to appeal a civil fraud case. Here are the newest updates.

According to Jon Sopel, complacency is leading us in a dangerous direction.

According to a report by The Washington Post, it is being suggested that Donald Trump may bring back Paul Manafort, his former campaign manager who was pardoned, as a campaign advisor in the near future.

A report from a bipartisan Senate committee in 2020 investigated Russian involvement in the 2016 presidential election. It discovered that Manafort’s involvement in the campaign and close relationship with Trump provided chances for Russian intelligence services to influence and gather sensitive information from the Trump Campaign.

This is our report for 2022 about Paul Manafort’s connections to Konstantin Kilimnik, a suspected Russian intelligence officer.

The New York court has imposed a $464 million fraud judgment against Donald Trump, but he has not been able to secure a bond to cover it.

In a legal document submitted today, his attorneys state: “The defendants’ continued and thorough attempts have demonstrated that posting a bond in the total amount of the judgment is ‘extremely difficult to achieve.'”

“Through 4 different brokers, approximately 30 surety companies were approached with diligent efforts.”

There have reportedly been “countless hours negotiating with one of the largest insurance companies in the world,” however, “obtaining an appeal bond in the full amount” of the judgment “is not possible under the circumstances presented”.

“The total judgment, including interest, exceeds $464 million, and only a few bonding companies are willing to offer a bond close to that amount. The small number of companies that are willing to do so will not accept tangible assets like real estate as collateral…”

Moreover, they contend that selling off their real estate assets quickly, or a “fire sale,” would lead to significant and irreversible financial losses, which is considered an unfixable harm in legal terms.

According to their argument, this should be reason enough to delay the ruling, and they are requesting that oral arguments be heard in an appeal.

Donald Trump criticized California Democrat Representative Adam Schiff on Truth Social after giving an unclear statement about his previous impeachment during a recent rally in Ohio.

This morning, the former president expressed the following statement:

Can you believe that Adam Shifty Schiff is accusing me of “evading justice” when he is one of the most corrupt politicians out there, possibly second only to crooked Joe Biden, arguably the worst president in the history of the United States?

And here’s what he said at the weekend:

A former official in New Mexico’s county government has been convicted for his involvement in the January 6 assault on the US Capitol and is prohibited from resuming his position.

On Monday, the highest court in the country dismissed an appeal from Couy Griffin, who was ousted by a state judge based on a constitutional provision that prohibits individuals who participated in insurrection from holding any public office.

Alex Woodward is covering this developing story.

Today, The Washington Post reported that the previous president plans to appoint Paul Manafort, his former campaign manager who he pardoned while in the Oval Office, as a campaign advisor in the near future.

The talks about the job have mostly revolved around the Republican convention taking place in Milwaukee in July 2024, and may involve Manafort contributing to Trump’s campaign fundraising efforts, as reported by The Post.

In 2020, Trump granted a pardon to Manafort, who had been placed on home confinement seven months prior. This effectively saved the experienced Republican strategist from serving the majority of his seven-and-a-half-year prison sentence for committing federal crimes of tax evasion and bank fraud.

Doesn’t he just desire affection?

I do not understand why he insists on involving himself in politics when he could simply focus on playing 18 holes and trolling celebrities on his phone.

He would be significantly more content.

One individual who would probably prefer to not have him around is Liz Cheney. She strongly refutes his attacks, which stem from accusations made by his ex-staff member Kash Patel in The Federalist. Patel had claimed that during the 2022 sessions of her January 6 congressional committee, crucial information was intentionally withheld, a claim which she fervently denies.

According to Trump, the media intentionally misunderstood his words during the weekend to discredit him.
