Court offer over Trump’s civil fraud judgment if he puts up $175m in 10 days

The development came just before New York Attorney General Letitia James was expected to initiate efforts to collect the judgment

A New York appeals court has agreed to hold off collection of former US president Donald Trump’s $454m civil fraud judgment — if he puts up $175m within 10 days.

If he does, it will stop the clock on collection and prevent the state from seizing his assets while he appeals.
