The New York Court of Appeals announced Monday that it is halting enforcement of a $464 million judgment against former President Donald Trump.
A state appellate court panel said it would act if the Trump Organization and its executives pay $175 million within 10 days. Trump said shortly after that the amount would be accounted for within that period.
In a statement after the decision, he said:
I highly respect the Appellate Division’s decision and will post $175 million in cash or bond, whatever is needed within 10 days. I also appreciate the Appellate Division’s swift action, but Judge Engoron is an embarrassment to this country and this should not be tolerated.

The dramatic last-minute reprieve comes as Trump’s lawyers said it would be “impossible” for Trump to secure $464 million in cash, and New York Attorney General Letitia James said Trump’s assets This came as preparations for foreclosure began.

james stated in a statement According to CNN, the ruling “remains in effect.”
Donald Trump continues to be held accountable for staggering misconduct. The court has already found that he engaged in a long-standing fraud scheme to unfairly inflate his net worth and enrich himself, his family, and his organization. The $464 million judgment, plus interest, against Donald Trump and other defendants remains in effect.
Immediately after the verdict was announced, President Trump slammed Judge Arthur Engoron and James.
He said:
Judge Engoron declined to abide by the Appellate Division’s decision regarding the statute of limitations. This is a conflict between judges and those who govern them, and it is a very bad situation for New York State and the rule of law. Engoron disrespected the Appellate Division and its very clear and precise ruling. At the same time, the gag order should be lifted. This case marks the fifth time a case has been overturned, a record. The trust between him and Letitia James was shattered. The Company will post either debentures, equivalent securities, or cash pursuant to the Appellate Division’s decision. This also shows how ridiculous and outrageous Engoron’s initial decision was his $450 million. I did nothing wrong and New York should never be put in this position again. Businesses are retreating, violent crime is rampant, and it is critical that we address this issue once and for all as soon as possible. thank you!
he added:
Judge Engoron and Judge Letitia James will have to explain why they ruled that Mar-a-Lago was worth $18 million when it was actually worth 50 to 100 times that amount. How did the New York State Attorney General force this corrupt judge to do something like that to help her case, and why?
Monday’s decision marks the second fortuitous turn in Mr. Trump’s favor in recent days.
Last Friday, Digital World Acquisition Corporation’s shareholders approved a merger with Truth Social that could provide the former president with an estimated windfall of more than $3.5 billion, satisfying a judgment of civil fraud. That’s enough money to appeal the charges. case.
