Trump’s Huge Legal Day Monday: $454 Million Bond Comes Due, Hush Money Hearing
New York Attorney General Letitia James could begin seizing Trump’s properties or freezing his bank accounts to cover his bond.

On Monday, New York Attorney General Letitia James can begin freezing Trump’s bank accounts or seizing his properties in order to cover the bond payment—and filings with the Westchester County Clerk’s office on Thursday indicate she may begin by seizing his Seven Springs golf course in Bedford, New York.
Although Trump claimed Friday to have over $500 million in cash on hand, the former president’s attorneys indicated he is having trouble raising the funds to pay his bond. He has also faced problems paying his legal fees, and has needed to dip into funds raised by his Save America PAC. According to filings with the Federal Elections Commission, Trump has paid his lawyers $50 million with money raised by his re-election PAC since March 2023. This includes $5 million he paid in legal fees only in February. Additionally, Trump was ordered to pay writer E. Jean Carroll $83.3 million for defamatory comments about her. Trump, who has also appealed this judgment, posted the $91.6 million bond earlier this month.
