Trump will try to gain a campaign fundraising advantage if the New York attorney general pursues a lien on his assets, one expert says.
Donald Trump will try to score a propaganda victory if the New York attorney general moves to place a levy on his assets, a New York law professor said.
Trump scored a big victory on Monday when an appeals court agreed to reduce the bond he is required to post in the $454 million judgment against him for fraudulent inflation of his assets and also extended the time he had to pay.
Trump now has ten days to raise a bond of $175 million after his lawyers told the appeal court on Thursday that Trump was unable to raise a bond to cover the full $454 million.
Stephen Gillers, a law professor at New York University, said that Trump will make sure to get publicity shots if New York attorney general Letitia James moves on his assets.
“James will do something to levy on Trump’s assets.
