Back in the U.S., Donald Trump has failed to secure the $454 million bond for his New York civil fraud case, increasing the likelihood New York Attorney General Letitia James will seize his real estate assets. Trump’s lawyers said their client was turned down by around 30 bond underwriting companies. The lawyers are requesting the former president be allowed to delay posting bond while he appeals the case. If their request is denied, James could start seizing Trump’s properties next Monday.
In other Trump news, former White House aide Peter Navarro is expected to turn himself in to a federal prison in Miami today to serve his four-month sentence for contempt of Congress. Navarro will become the first-ever ex-White House official to serve time for a contempt of Congress conviction after he refused to comply with a subpoena from the House select committee investigating the January 6 Capitol insurrection.
