前总统唐纳德·特朗普和他的共同被告在纽约获得了1.75亿美元的债券民事欺诈案件根据一份法庭文件。
特朗普通过骑士专业保险公司获得了这笔债券。
“正如承诺的那样，特朗普总统已经交了保证金，”他的律师阿琳娜·哈巴在周一晚上的一份声明中说。“他期待通过上诉维护自己的权利，推翻这一不公正的判决。“
纽约总检察长办公室的一名官员拒绝向美国广播公司新闻发表评论。
上周，纽约上诉庭的一个法官小组授予前总统、他的成年儿子和两名前特朗普集团高管停留10天在民事欺诈案中获得4.64亿美元的判决，并允许他们缴纳1.75亿美元的减免保证金。
特朗普的律师曾辩称，在遭到30多家债券公司拒绝后，这位前总统缺乏现金来为完整判决获得债券。
辩护律师认为，在上诉法院没有干预的情况下，特朗普将不得不遭受不可挽回的伤害卖掉与他同名的房产在他用尽对欺诈裁决的上诉之前。
2月，经过三个月的审判，阿瑟·恩戈隆法官对特朗普及其共同被告处以罚款在发现他们通过虚假夸大前总统的净资产以获得更好的贷款和商业交易参与了十年的商业欺诈后。
“在这里发现的欺诈行为跃然纸上，震惊了良知，”Engoron写道。
特朗普否认所有不当行为，他的律师对此案的裁决提出上诉，认为没收金额违宪、不相称且有缺陷。辩护律师认为，恩戈伦法官对特朗普的行为滥用了诉讼时效，纽约州总检察长利蒂夏·詹姆斯未能证明特朗普的虚假陈述与前总统的贷款人有关。
“没有证据表明，最高法院也没有发现，在没有所谓的‘虚假陈述’的情况下，相关贷款机构和保险公司不会以相同的条款向被告提供贷款和保单，”辩护律师在3月份的一份文件中表示。
如果他们的上诉失败，这位前总统和他的共同被告将面临整个4.64亿美元的判决。
如果特朗普没有现金支付全部判决费用，并且他的上诉失败，詹姆斯可以通过以下方式执行判决扣押特朗普的资产.
詹姆斯最近在接受ABC新闻采访时表示:“如果他没有资金偿还判决，那么我们将在法庭上寻求判决执行机制，我们将要求法官扣押他的资产。“我们准备确保判决支付给纽约人。”
在作家E. Jean Carroll对特朗普提起的诽谤诉讼中，特朗普在1月份的陪审团裁决后通过保险公司Chubb获得了9200万美元的保证金认定他负有责任诽谤她。特朗普否认所有不当行为，并已就该案提交上诉通知书。
这位前总统用一个经纪账户作为该债券的抵押。
Trump secures $175 million bond in New York civil fraud case
Former President Donald Trump and his co-defendants have secured a $175 million bond in their New Yorkcivil fraud case, according to a court filing.
Trump secured the bond through Knight Specialty Insurance Company.
"As promised, President Trump has posted bond," his attorney Alina Habba said in a statement Monday evening. "He looks forward to vindicating his rights on appeal and overturning this unjust verdict."
An official with the New York attorney general's office declined to comment to ABC News.
Last week, a panel of judges from New York's Appellate Division granted the former president, his adult sons, and two former Trump Organization executives a10-day stayof the $464 million judgment in their civil fraud case and permitted them to post a reduced bond of $175 million.
Trump's lawyers had argued that the former president lacked the cash to secure a bond for the full judgment after being rejected by more than 30 bond companies.
Without intervention from an appeals court, defense lawyers argued that Trump would suffer irreparable harm by having tosell off his namesake propertiesbefore he exhausted his appeal of the fraud ruling.
In February, following a three-month trial, Judge Arthur Engoronfined Trump and his co-defendantsafter finding they had engaged in a decade of business fraud by falsely inflating the former president's net worth to get better loans and business deals.
"The frauds found here leap off the page and shock the conscience," Engoron wrote.
Trump has denied all wrongdoing and his lawyers have appealed the ruling in the case, arguing that the disgorgement amount was unconstitutional, disproportionate, and flawed. Defense lawyers argue that Judge Engoron misapplied the statute of limitations for Trump's conduct and that New York Attorney General Letitia James failed to prove Trump's misrepresentations were relevant to the former president's lenders.
"There is no evidence, and no finding by Supreme Court, that the relevant lenders and insurers would not have given Defendants loans and policies on the same terms in the absence of the supposed 'misrepresentations,'" defense lawyers said in a March filing.
If their appeal fails, the former president and his co-defendants will be on the hook for the entire $464 million judgment.
If Trump does not have the cash to cover the full judgment and his appeal is unsuccessful, James could enforce the judgment byseizing Trump's assets.
"If he does not have funds to pay off the judgment, then we will seek judgment enforcement mechanisms in court, and we will ask the judge to seize his assets," James said in a recent interview with ABC News. "We are prepared to make sure that the judgment is paid to New Yorkers."
In the defamation suit brought against Trump by the writer E. Jean Carroll, Trump secured a $92 million bond through insurance company Chubb after a jury in Januaryfound him liablefor defaming her. Trump, who has denied all wrongdoing, has filed a notice of appeal in that case.
The former president used a brokerage account as collateral for that bond.
