Trump's Bond in Civil Fraud Case Lowered to $175M as Judge Sets April 15 Date for Hush Money Trial
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A New York appeals court on Monday reduced Donald Trump's bond to $175
million in his civil fraud case, down from $464 million, and gave Trump
an extension of 10 days to pay it as he appeals the case. The ruling
means New York Attorney General Letitia James will not be able to
enforce the judgment against Trump just yet, including the seizure of
his assets.

Separately, on Monday, a New York judge rescheduled the start of Trump's
hush money trial for April 15. Trump's lawyers had sought to postpone
his first criminal trial, arguing the recent release of over 100,000
pages of evidence made it impossible to prepare in time.
