In a strategic move to forestall potential asset seizure, former US President Donald Trump has posted a 175 million USD bond while appealing the civil fraud case brought against him by New York Attorney General Letitia James, as per a report by CNN.

A New York judge ordered Donald Trump to pay $355 million over fraud allegations and banned him from running companies in the state for three years Friday in a major blow to his business empire and financial standing.

Former U.S. President Donald Trump's recent testimony in his New York civil fraud case took an unconventional turn, with his courtroom appearance resembling a political rally more than a legal proceeding. Despite repeated warnings from Judge Arthur Engoron, Trump's testimony was marked by fiery rhetoric and confrontations.

A defiant Donald Trump sparred with a New York judge and slammed the state attorney general suing him Monday, using the witness stand at his civil fraud trial to defend his riches and lash out at a case that imperils his real estate empire.

The former president's barbed testimony spurred the judge to admonish, "This is not a political rally."

A New York judge has ruled that Donald Trump committed fraud for years while building the real estate empire that catapulted him to fame and the White House, the Associated Press reported.

That is the question Donald Trump may face after a New York judge ordered the former president to testify in a long-running state civil investigation into his business practices.
