Yep, I was reading a near full transcript of the hearing. It is a farce and the entire saga—along with every other trial Trump has ever been involved with—has made a mockery of the justice system. There is a reason that he is almost universally hated in New York State: he has been doing this same BS for literally decades there, weaselling out of liability, financial responsibility, and general shitehousery and corruption for the process.On the $175m civil fraud bond - there was a hearing with Engoron yesterday as scheduled. They agreed that Trump needed to provide statements that the account is being held in cash with Schwab, that Knight is the only party with access to this account, and that this account is maintained at its current value - no withdrawals or purchasing of securities. They need to provide these statements every month until the appeal concludes.
They have until the end of the week to provide that evidence and sign an agreement with those terms.
Anybody's guess what happens next. Absolute circus.
As I said earlier, any other non-wealthy, non-powerful, non-famous defendant would be in custody pending the bond being secured.
He is a benefactor of the “two-tiered justice system” as he throws a tantrum denouncing it.
