‘Probably unconstitutional’: Court finds Trump’s $US454 million bond ‘excessive’

Curtin University Global Futures Dean Professor Joe Siracusa says Donald Trump’s $US454 million bond in his New York fraud case was “probably unconstitutional” and an appeals court found it “excessive”.

A New York appeals court has agreed to reduce former US president Donald Trump’s $US454 million civil fraud case judgement to $US175 million.

Trump has ten days to pay the bond if he wants to avoid having his assets seized by authorities.

“The court found the $US454 million bond excessive – actually, it’s probably unconstitutional,” Mr Siracusa told Sky News Digital Presenter Gabriella Power.

“Trump could’ve written a check … but he didn’t want to do that.”
