CNN - Former President Donald Trump posted a $175 million bond Monday as he appeals the judgment against him in the New York civil fraud case brought by state Attorney General Letitia James. This is a win for Trump's team as the bond pauses any action that James could take against his properties in response to the judgment until at least September.
NBC News - With less than two weeks until Donald Trump's New York criminal trial is
set to begin, the judge presiding in the case expanded a partial gag order — and
issued a warning about what could happen if the former president violates
it. The expanded gag order comes after Trump's online attacks on Judge Juan
Merchan's daughter. Since last week, Trump has taken shots at her job as the
president of a digital fundraising and advertising firm that Vice President
Kamala Harris used during her presidential campaign. Trump's team argued that his repeated attacks were protected political
speech. Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg's office argued that Trump's
behavior "fundamentally threatens the integrity of the proceedings"
by intimidating witnesses and trial participants. In issuing the expanded gag order yesterday, Merchan wrote that Trump's
attacks could have a chilling effect on the case. Merchan also issued a
warning, which said that if Trump continues to defy the gag order, he may lose
"any statutory right" to access juror names. Trump could also be found in criminal contempt and willful disobedience of
a court order, which could include a penalty of up to 30 days imprisonment, if
he continues to ignore orders, the DA's office has previously said. MORE
Guardian- The prospects of Donald Trump going to trial in July on charges of retaining national security documents, as suggested by special counsel prosecutors, are rapidly diminishing, with the judge overseeing the case yet to issue a schedule weeks after she was presented with the potential options.The US district judge Aileen Cannon received proposed trial start dates from Trump and the special counsel Jack Smith more than a month ago in advance of a hearing ostensibly to settle the matter in Fort Pierce, Florida, but she has still not decided when the proceeding will begin. As a result, Trump has been able to avoid filing certain pre-trial motions that have to be completed before the case can proceed to trial, playing into his strategy of trying to delay the case as much as possible before the 2024 election in November. Trump’s legal strategy for all of his criminal cases has been to delay, under the calculus that winning re-election would enable him to appoint a loyalist as attorney general who could direct prosecutors to drop the case, or pardon himself if he was convicted.
